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

A high CRP (C-reactive protein) level is a non-specific marker of inflammation. Clinically, values above 3 mg/L are considered elevated, and above 10 mg/L indicate significant inflammation, infection, or tissue damage. A DNA test cannot measure CRP – that requires a blood draw. However, certain genetic variants can influence baseline inflammatory tone, such as rs1143634 in the IL-1B gene (interleukin-1β). Some nutrigenetic tests (e.g., MyBody-X) may include such variants, but their clinical utility is limited: they explain only a small fraction of CRP variance and cannot replace medical evaluation. A high CRP should always be interpreted by a physician. A DNA test might offer a hint about a genetic predisposition to higher inflammatory activity, but it is not a diagnostic tool. Caution: No lifestyle DNA test can detect acute inflammation or substitute for a blood test.
