wie lange crp nach op erhöht — can a DNA test help?

The question of how long CRP remains elevated after surgery is clinically well-established: C-reactive protein typically rises within 24–48 hours post-surgery, peaks around day 2–3, and returns to baseline within 1–2 weeks, depending on the type of surgery, extent of tissue trauma, and complications. A DNA test (e.g., for variants in IL6, CRP, or other inflammatory genes) cannot predict this acute physiological response in a clinically useful way. Evidence for genetic markers predicting postoperative CRP dynamics is weak and not validated for direct-to-consumer use. MyBody-X or similar tests offer no actionable insight here. Instead, CRP monitoring should be guided by a physician using clinical judgment and serial lab measurements. A DNA test is not helpful for this question and may lead to misinterpretation.
