Yes, CRP can be influenced by other conditions. The reason I insisted on my last CRP was that I had eliminated all dairy for over 30 days before my blood draw, and I wanted to compare it with my previous score to see if dairy could be a cause of inflammation for me. My CRP score was well below normal, lower than my last score and indicated little to no inflammation, so I'm making the assumption that I need to watch dairy consumption. No need for further CRP testing at this point.
