Preparing for a CRP test is straightforward, as it usually doesn’t require any special preparations. You can eat and drink normally before the test unless instructed otherwise by your doctor. However, avoid consuming alcohol, fatty meals, or engaging in vigorous physical activities on the day of the test, as these factors can affect CRP levels and lead to inaccurate results. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications, supplements, or ongoing treatments, as certain drugs like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or corticosteroids may lower CRP levels. If your doctor has ordered a high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) test to assess cardiovascular risk, they may recommend fasting for 8–12 hours prior, especially if other blood tests like cholesterol are being performed simultaneously. Ensuring proper rest and staying hydrated can also help make the blood draw process smoother.
