CRP level interpretation: Less than 0.3 mg/dL is considered normal (a level seen in most healthy adults).
Normal or mild elevation: 0.3 to 1.0 mg/dL (can be seen in obesity, pregnancy, depression, diabetes, the common cold, gingivitis, periodontitis, sedentary lifestyles, cigarette smoking, and genetic polymorphisms).
Moderate elevation: 1.0 to 10.0 mg/dL systemic inflammation such as RA, SLE, or other autoimmune diseases, malignancies, myocardial infarction, pancreatitis, and bronchitis).
More than 10.0 mg/dL: significant rise (acute bacterial infections, viral infections, systemic vasculitis, major trauma).
Severe elevation: more than 50.0 mg/dL (acute bacterial infections).
