Urethritis whole blood CRP high what is the cause

High CRP levels in whole blood may be associated with inflammation and tissue damage.

Urethritis is a disease of inflammation of the urethra, and CRP is a non-specific inflammatory marker. If CRP levels in whole blood are elevated in patients with urethritis, it may be associated with inflammation and tissue damage. Urethritis causes inflammation in urethral tissue, which stimulates the body to produce more CRP, which is a normal response to inflammation. In addition, urethritis may cause damage to urethral tissue, which releases more inflammatory mediators, which in turn activates the immune system and triggers elevated CRP levels.
