Throughout the medical field, the '''Human C-Reactive Protein''' (CRP) has been used to clinically determine whether or not there is an infection, tissue injury, or an inflammatory response occurring within the body. Thus, CRP is a major acute-phase protein, in which its concentration can reach levels upwards of 10+mg/L <ref name=Evolution>Pathak A and Agrawal A (2019) Evolution of C-Reactive Protein. Front. Immunol. 10:943. doi: 10.3389</ref>. In comparison, normal CRP levels within the human body are referenced to be estimated at | Throughout the medical field, the '''Human C-Reactive Protein''' (CRP) has been used to clinically determine whether or not there is an infection, tissue injury, or an inflammatory response occurring within the body.
