CRP is a useful indicator to assess and monitor the presence, severity, and course of the inflammatory response in infectious and noninfectious disorders including acute myocardial infarction, angina, malignancies, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, burns, trauma, and after surgical procedures. It also serves as a prognostic indicator in a variety of clinical conditions such as acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In this condition, elevation of CRP levels is related to increased risk of myocardial infarction. Nowadays, high-sensitivity CRP is being increasingly used as a tool for cardiac risk evaluation and as a prognostic factor in ACS. It measures CRP exactly the same as the conventional test but is capable of detecting much lower CRP concentrations (detection limit of 0.03 mg/L). CRP is a strong predictor for adverse long-term events in patients with type B acute aortic dissection. Higher are the CRP values, and worse is the prognosis and outcome of the disease.[9] CRP also appears valuable in predicting the clinical outcome and prognosis of many solid tumors such as lung, pancreas, hepatocellular, and urological cancers. High levels of CRP predict poor prognosis in patients with these tumors. It may also help predict tumor recurrence and treatment response. The CRP also has a role in predicting the risk of rebleeding in patients with acute nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding. CRP is considered to be a strong predictor of prognosis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. High level of serum CRP is associated with an increased risk of mortality in these patients. Elevated CRP levels at ICU discharge also have a poor prognosis. These high levels are associated with readmission and in-hospital mortality. Although CRP is a valuable marker to predict prognosis and other important clinical outcomes in many diseases, better designed large-scale studies on the role of CRP as a prognostic indicator are needed to confirm these observations.
