Product Details
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an early inflammation or infection marker. This protein is produced in the liver and is usually found at concentrations lower than 10 mg/L in the blood in healthy individuals. However, CRP levels rise rapidly within the first 6 to 8 hours during infectious or inflammatory disease states. When the inflammation or tissue injury subsides, CRP levels also decrease, making it a valuable marker for monitoring disease progression. The CRP (C-Reactive Protein), Quantitative test measures the level of CRP; however, it does not show the exact location or the possible cause of the inflammation.
Your doctor may advise the CRP (C-Reactive Protein), Quantitative test if you experience symptoms suggestive of inflammation, such as fever, chills, redness, swelling, nausea, vomiting, rapid breathing, and/or rapid heart rate. If you have a previously diagnosed inflammatory condition, this test helps monitor how your treatment works and whether the issue is adequately managed. Moderately to severely elevated CRP levels may be a sign of possible infections, particularly after surgery or in other inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). High levels of CRP may also be due to genetics, exposure to environmental toxins, the use of birth control pills, and during pregnancy.
No, fasting is not required for CRP blood test. You can eat and drink normally as per your routine. Inform your doctor about all the medications or supplements that you are taking as these may affect the test results.
Test result ranges are approximate and may differ slightly between labs depending on the methodology and laboratory guidelines. Talk to your doctor about your specific test results. Narrate your complete medical history to help them correlate your clinical and laboratory findings. The results will help the doctor determine your medical condition, make recommendations to manage your overall health, and formulate your treatment plan.

The CRP test measures the level of CRP protein in your blood. CRP is made by the liver when you have inflammation. Levels rise quickly if you have an infection, injury, or chronic autoimmune disease. The test shows how much inflammation is present, but does not identify its exact location or cause. It also helps track treatment and can assess heart disease risk with a sensitive test (hs-CRP).
