Inflammatory & Other Chemistry

C-Reactive Protein (CRP)

Normal range < 1.0 (varies) mg/dL (< 10 mg/L SI). Specimen: Serum.

Also known as: C reactive protein.

Reference range

This result is reported qualitatively or as a one-sided threshold rather than a two-sided numeric band.

Combined adult band. LabVals does not publish separate men's, women's, or pediatric ranges for C-Reactive Protein (CRP); those can be narrower than the band shown.

What is the normal range for C-Reactive Protein (CRP)?

The standard teaching reference range for C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is < 1.0 (varies) mg/dL in conventional units, or < 10 mg/L in SI units. This value is measured in serum.

Source: Adult reference values compiled from Pagana & Pagana, Mosby's Diagnostic and Laboratory Test Reference, and Fischbach & Dunning, A Manual of Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests. Reference ranges vary by laboratory, method, age, sex, and population - always use the range printed on the actual result.

At the bedside

Nursing considerations

  • A sensitive but non-specific acute-phase reactant; rises and falls faster than the ESR.
  • High-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) is used for cardiovascular risk stratification.
