Is a CRP value of 10.1 mg/l considered high ? is there any infection? I know the normal value should be

CRP is a critical component of the immune system, a complex set of proteins that our bodies make when faced with a major infection or trauma.
CRP C reactive protien ,ESR Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and plasma viscosity are blood tests that detect inflammation. These are useful tests to help diagnose and monitor the activity of certain diseases.
The body produces CRP during the general process of inflammation. Therefore, CRP is a marker for inflammation,If you have inflammation in a part of your body then extra protein is often released from the site of inflammation and circulates in the bloodstream, such as an infection, illness, or a serious flare-up of arthritis, can raise CRP levels
its raise can indicate beside a cholesterol level testing the heart risk
ESR, CRP and PV are nonspecific tests. Basically, a raised level means that "something is going on", but further tests will be needed to clarify the cause of the illness. For example, you may be unwell but the cause may not be clear.
Levels of CRP less than 1 mg/L are desirable and reflect a low overall cardiovascular risk. Levels of CRP between 1 and 3 mg/L are indicative of moderate risk, while levels of CRP in excess of 3 mg/L suggest quite elevated vascular risk
It is possible that you will have a CRP level that is very high (above 10 mg/L). In that case, the test should be repeated in about 2 to 3 weeks as levels above 10 mg/L can reflect the presence of an acute infection (this is why it is recommended to have CRP evaluation done when you are feeling well). If on repeat testing the CRP level remains high, you are most likely in the high-risk group.
so check after 2-3 weeks beside your other symptoms and any inflammation presented .
