A member asked:
Is c-reactive protein always elevated in auto immune conditions?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, Isaac's, and a host of others will usually not feature elevation. Normal C-reactive protein really rules out nothing. It's an adjunct for a field in which history and physical are still primary.

No: CRP reflects inflammation and when there is no or little inflammation going on, it will not be elevated.
