Default CRP (inflammation) as PD Marker?

I posted this today on Debi Brooks thread, but wanted to make a new thread here as well. Does anyone know whether anyone has ever looked at CRP levels (C-Reactive Protein) as a possible marker for PD? I know some people say there is an inflammation link to PD, and I believe CRP is the primary indication of inflammation. I ask because in the years preceding my diagnosis, my CRP levels went through the roof. Should be under 2, ideally under 1, mine were up to 8.1, 5.7, etc., for no known reason.
