Use Measurement of CRP by high sensitivity CRP assays may add to the predictive value of other markers used to assess the risk of cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disease.

Increases in CRP values are nonspecific, however, coronary risk may be present when the results are above 0.13 ng/dL. CRP also may be an indicator for a wide range of disease processes and should not be interpreted without a complete clinical history. When using CRP to assess risk of cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disease, measurements should be compared to previous values. Recent medical events resulting in tissue injury, infections or inflammation, which may cause elevated CRP levels, should also be considered when interpreting results.
