Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP) is becoming more frequently measured in patients with vascular disease. Awareness of why CRP levels are measured, knowledge of normal versus elevated levels, ability to obtain accuracy in measurement, and teaching appropriate for patients with vascular disease may enhance the care given by vascular nurses. The purpose of this article is to provide a guide for vascular nurses in understanding the role of the serum marker CRP for patients with vascular disease.
