Cardiovascular patients
The CRP will also give you information about the cholesterol build-up that can be associated with a low-grade inflammation. With that information, we can determine the risk of cardiovascular disease or even coronary artery disease.
Athletes
For athletes, this test can help calculate the time that you need to fully recover. After a workout or intense exercise session, the CRP will increase and should return to the normal levels within 20 hours.

CRP is the C-reactive Protein, a protein produced by the liver that increases when there are high levels of inflammation present in the body.
This rise can represent an infection, injury or even a poor diet.
