Hello and hope you are doing well.

CRP levels are measured along with alpha 1 antitrypsin levels. This is because in acute inflammations the alpha 1 antitrypsin levels may be normal in patients with a moderate deficiency. And raised CRP levels indicate an acute inflammation. So, to conclude with raised CRP levels, the measurement of alpha 1 antitrypsin may not be accurate.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
