What does high C-reactive protein mean?

High C-reactive protein indicates that the patient may have acute inflammation, myocardial infarction, malignant tumors and other diseases, and need to go to the hospital for examination in order to clarify the cause of the disease. 1. Acute inflammation: C-reactive protein can remove pathogenic microorganisms that invade the body, and is a non-specific indicator of inflammation. When the value increases, it means that there may be acute pneumonia, acute pancreatitis, bacterial infection and other diseases in the body. 2. Myocardial infarction: C-reactive protein is an important predictor of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, when the value increases, it suggests that the patient may have a myocardial infarction. 3. Malignant tumors: C-reactive protein is significantly elevated in patients with malignant tumors, and the progress of the disease can be assessed according to this value. The specific cause of the disease needs to go to the hospital for examination before it can be clear, and follow the doctor’s guidance for treatment.
