Brief Answer:
Depends on the kind of symptoms you have
Detailed Answer:
Hello again, CRP is not the diagnosis of any condition or disease.
It only indicates that somewhere in your body there is infection or inflammation goimg on.
Infection can.be as simple as a common cold or any complex infection also.
The doctor or specialist you need to see depends on your symptoms.
If you have any joint swelling or pain also CRP will be elevated and depending on the place and number of joints involved you may see an orthopaedician or joint specialist or rheumatologist.
If infection is the cause you can see a general physician.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
