CRP on TRT
What the number means, why it moves on a protocol, and how it sits with related markers.
What it is
High-sensitivity CRP is the general inflammation marker. It rises with infection, injury, body fat, poor sleep and hard training, and it adds to cardiovascular risk when it stays up.
The range
How to read the lab range
Under 1 mg/L is low risk, 1 to 3 average, above 3 high. Above 10 is usually an infection or injury, not a lifestyle number.
Why it moves on a protocol
- Hard training in the days before the draw.
- An infection, an injury, poor sleep, extra body fat.
- Gum disease and smoking.

Questions people ask
CRP 4 after a hard week of training?
Common. CRP spikes after big sessions, so a result drawn after a hard week reads higher than one after a few easy days.
