CRP is released into the bloodstream when our body experiences inflammation, whether it be from an infection, an injury, or a long-term illness like arthritis. The liver produces this protein as a component of the body's defense system. Consider it as a warning sign in the bloodstream that something isn't quiet right within our body.
