Description
CRP (C-Reactive Protein) Test
The CRP Test measures the level of C-reactive protein in your blood. CRP is produced by the liver in response to inflammation in the body. Elevated CRP levels can indicate infections, inflammatory diseases, or other medical conditions.
Why This Test is Done:
-
Detect and monitor inflammation or infection
-
Help diagnose conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or inflammatory bowel disease
-
Monitor treatment effectiveness in inflammatory disorders
How It Works:
A blood sample is collected and analyzed for CRP levels. The test does not identify the specific cause of inflammation but signals that further investigation may be needed.
Sample Requirement: Blood sample
Reporting Time: Same day
No special preparation is usually needed unless advised by your doctor.
