Yes: C reactive protein is a blood test and is a non-specific marker of something wrong. It can be anything from an infection, inflammation in joints, inflammation in the arteries, some cancers, acute injury/inflammation. Over 10 mg/liter is of concern. It may represent nothing serious, but I feel the physician should look for a cause. Why was it done in the first place?

Need more info: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, elevated CRP is not diagnostic of a disease, it indicates inflammation. Wish you good health!
