It does this by measuring the amount of CRP in your blood.CRP is a protein made by the liver and sent into the bloodstream. Blood levels may be higher when you have swelling (inflammation) or an infection.Because CRP levels often go up before you have symptoms of pain or fever and drop down as you recover, the CRP test is especially useful for tracking infections.ecause C-reactive protein is part of the immune system, your levels of it rise whenever you have swelling in your body.
