A member asked:
Had crp blood test said normal was 0-10 and mine was 12.4 is this high or just slightly elevated and means nothing? having work up for lupus or ra

Not diagnostic : CRP (C-reactive protein) is a protein that is increased in diseases in which there is inflammation. A slightly increased level of CRP is compatible with both sLE and RA, but is NOT diagnostic of either. Furthermore, there are many other causes of such a small elevation of CRP.
