If you need to know which are the C-Reactive protein reference ranges or you require more information about the role of C-Reactive protein in the blood, you can visit normal C-Reactive protein level in the blood
A low C-reactive protein (CRP) value in a blood test have no value for diagnosis. CRP is virtually absent from the blood of healthy persons and increases when there is inflammation. Therefore, values near zero only show absence of inflammation or erroneous reading.
