What causes high CRP and low Calcium?

High CRP and low Calcium can be caused by many reasons.

If your CRP is in between 0.1 mg/L and 3 mg/L and your Calcium is in between 8.5 mg/dL and 10.1 mg/dL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for CRP and Calcium respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Some examples of conditions that can increase or decrease CRP levels include:

• Inflammation
