CRP (C-Reactive Protein)

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a substance produced by the liver in response to inflammation. It's a biomarker that's measured through a blood test to help detect inflammation in the body.   Key points about CRP: Normal CRP levels: Typically less than 3 mg/L, but reference ranges may vary slightly by lab. High CRP levels: Suggest acute inflammation, which could be due to: Infection (bacterial or viral) Chronic inflammatory diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus) Injury or trauma Heart disease (a high-sensitivity CRP test is used for assessing cardiovascular risk) High-Sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) This is a more refined test often used to assess cardiovascular disease risk: Low risk: <1.0 mg/L Average risk: 1.0–3.0 mg/L High risk: >3.0 mg/L

CSF D/R

CSF Glucose D/R

The CSF Glucose D/R test refers to the measurement of glucose levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), with D/R typically referring to the "Dry" (meaning no preservative) and "Random" (referring to the time of collection, not fasting) nature of the test. The test is commonly used to assess and help diagnose various neurological conditions, particularly those affecting the brain and spinal cord.

CSF Protein D/R

CSF Protein D/R refers to the protein concentration measured in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF), often with the indication of D/R representing "dynamic range" or "differential/range," though the specific interpretation may vary by the testing method or medical context.
