C Reactive Protein Increase and Normal Disease - Mnemonic

C Reactive Protein Increase and Normal Disease

C–reactive protein (CRP) is an annular (ring-shaped), pentameric protein found in blood plasma, the levels of which rise in response to inflammation (i.e., C–reactive protein is an acute-phase protein of hepatic origin that increases following interleukin-6 secretion from macrophages and T cells).
