Your liver releases more CRP into your bloodstream if you have inflammation in your body.
But the test can't show what's causing the inflammation or which part of your body is inflamed.A c-reactive protein test measures the level of c-reactive protein (CRP) in a sample of your blood. This type of inflammation is usually helpful. Those are signs of inflammation. Chronic infections, certain autoimmune disorders, and other diseases can cause harmful chronic inflammation. Inflammation can be acute (sudden) and temporary. High levels of CRP may mean you have a serious health condition that causes inflammation.
Inflammation is your body's way of protecting your tissues and helping them heal from an injury, infection, or other disease. Inflammation can also happen inside your body.
If inflammation lasts too long, it can damage healthy tissues. Chronic inflammation can also happen if your tissues are repeatedly injured or irritated, for example from smoking or chemicals in the environment.
A CRP test can show whether you have inflammation in your body and how much. This is called chronic (long-term) inflammation. CRP is a protein that your liver makes. For example, if you cut your skin, it may turn red, swell, and hurt for a few days. Normally, you have low levels of c-reactive protein in your blood.

As a fluid connective tissue, messenger and transporter the blood also performs the transport of hormones and the signaling of tissue damage.The transport of vital nutrients, oxygen, and drugs and even the waste material, gases etc occur in the body through a liquid connective tissue. Other than imparting immunity to the organism, the blood is also very important in the self repairing mechanism of the body called as Coagulation. Other than the basic transportation function of the supply of oxygen, nutrients and removal of wastes there are also some very vital biological functions performed by the blood. Blood performs many immunological functions like circulation of white blood cells, and detection of foreign material by antibodies. It plays a major role in the defense mechanism of the body. It basically is a specialized bodily fluid that delivers necessary substances to the cells of the body. This liquid connective tissue is called as Blood. The clot hence formed as a result of this process seals an open wound in order to stop bleeding and prevents blood loss. Here the transport of the nutrients, oxygen and other beneficial substances occurs from the source organs to the cells via blood and likewise the transport of waste materials, metabolites, harmful gases (including CO2) occur from the cells to the blood. Clotting helps repair and heal the injuries on the surface of the body (and also inside the body).
