What is normal CRP level?

Normal CRP levels are typically below 3.0 mg/L. Keep in mind that the normal reference range often varies between labs. A high-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) test can detect levels below 10.0 mg/L. This kind of test is performed primarily to determine a person’s risk for heart disease. No single test can confirm that you have RA.

What is a low C reactive protein level?

Here is a basic C-reactive protein level chart that most healthcare providers use: A CRP level under 10 milligrams per liter (mg/L) is considered by some health authorities to be normal. However some recent research shows that any level above 1-2 mg/L may indicate a problem, especially related to heart health.

What is normal C reactive protein range?
