The C-reactive protein was high throughout the whole process

We have an immune system in our body, and the immune system has different lines of defense. When the first line of our immune system is activated, we have the ability to resist bacteria, but if the bacteria are more vigorous, we need to activate the second line of the immune system. If the whole process C-reactive protein is high, it means that our body is infected due to disease. So what should we do if the whole process C-reactive protein is high?

C-reactive protein is a special protein produced under stress conditions. Its increase may be related to inflammatory infection, stress, and certain diseases. Especially in the case of infection, C-reactive protein is the first to be manifested. It has high sensitivity and very low specificity. When the body is infected, the stress system in the body will be automatically activated to resist exogenous invasion by secreting stress proteins, and the C-reactive protein will increase. In addition, some diseases can also cause an increase in C-reactive protein, such as tuberculosis. This kind of stress response will also occur when the body suffers major trauma, such as traffic accidents, burns, and other major bleeding, and this kind of stress protein will also be produced during the stress process.

C-reactive protein is a type of stress protein, so if the C-reactive protein level is elevated, treatment should be targeted at the primary disease. If an infection occurs and anti-infection treatment is given, once the infection is controlled, C-reactive protein will slowly return to normal. If there is major stress or traumatic bleeding, treatment should be targeted at the condition. The above content is for reference only. Please follow the doctor's face-to-face consultation instructions for specific medication and treatment.

C-reactive protein is an acute phase reactant protein. Its increase does indicate that the body is likely to be in certain disease states, the most common of which is bacterial infection. It may also increase in cases of malignant tumors, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular system diseases, body damage, etc. Therefore, elevated C-reactive protein levels cannot specifically indicate what the problem is; clinicians need to determine this based on the patient's clinical symptoms and other test results.
