The test results show that 19-year-old male Mohd Ashraf has a C-reactive protein (CRP) level of 1.60 mg/L, which is within the normal reference range of up to 6.00 mg/L. CRP is a protein found in the blood in response to inflammation or tissue damage. While Ashraf's CRP level is normal, elevated levels can indicate conditions such as bacterial infection, rheumatoid arthritis, or tuberculosis. The results should be interpreted in the context of the patient's clinical presentation.

COMMENTS : CRP APPEARS IN THE SERUM OF INDIVIDUALS IN RESPONSE TO VARIOUS
INFLAMMATORY CONDITIONS AND TISSUE NECROSIS AND DISAPPEARS AS THE CAUSATIVE CONDITIONS SUBSIDE. IT IS ROUTINELY FOUND IN CASES OF BACTERIAL INFECTION, ACTIVE RHEUMATIC FEVER, MANY MALIGNANT DISEASES AND IS OFTEN SEEN IN ASSOCIATION WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, VIRAL INFECTIONS AND T.B. CRP HAS BEEN DETECTED IN PATIENTS AFTER BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS, SURGICAL OPERATIONS, PATIENTS WITH BURNS, PEMPHIGUS VULGARIS & OTHER BULLOUS LESIONS. ELEVATION OF CRP LEVELS ABOVE NORMAL RANGE INDICATES TISSUE DAMAGE, INFLAMMATION AND BOTH WITH GREATER RELIABILITY. REGULAR MONITORING OF CRP LEVELS IS OFTEN USED AS A MEANS OF ASSESSING DISEASE ACTIVITY AND OF GUIDING THERAPY. CRP DETERMINATION IS CONSIDERED TO BE OF GREATER PRACTICAL SIGNIFICANCE THAN ANY OTHER INDICATOR OF INFLAMMATORY DISEASE. SINCE CRP PRODUCTION IS A NONSPECIFIC RESPONSE TO TISSUE INJURY., IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE RESULTS ARE CLINICALLY CORRELATED.
