You have infection or inflammation as your CRP is high. Normal CRP levels are below 3.0 mg/L. Keep in mind the normal reference range often varies between labs. A high-sensitivity CRP test can detect levels below 10.0 mg/LA high level of CRP in the blood is a marker of inflammation. It can be caused by a wide variety of conditions, from infection to cancer. High CRP levels can also indicate that there's inflammation in the arteries of the heart, which can mean a higher risk of heart attack.
