was ist ein crp wert — can a DNA test help?

CRP (C-reactive protein) is a blood marker for inflammation. A DNA test cannot measure your current CRP level – that requires a blood draw. However, certain genetic variants, such as rs1800795 in the IL-6 gene, have been associated with slightly higher baseline CRP levels. The effects are small and not diagnostic. A genetic test does not replace a blood test and should not be used to assess acute inflammation. The evidence is moderate (GWAS, observational studies). Be cautious about overinterpretation: a genetic risk does not mean you have active inflammation. For reliable assessment, repeated CRP blood measurements and medical evaluation are necessary.
