    What factors can affect CRP test accuracy during the procedure?

    Several factors can influence the accuracy of a CRP test. These include recent infections, injuries, or surgeries, which can temporarily elevate CRP levels. Medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, or statins may lower CRP levels, potentially masking inflammation. Conditions like pregnancy, obesity, or hormonal changes may also affect CRP levels, causing mild elevations. Improper sample handling or delays in laboratory analysis are rare but can lead to inaccuracies. To ensure reliable results, follow your doctor’s instructions regarding preparation, including fasting if needed, and inform them of any medications or supplements you are taking. The test is most accurate when CRP levels are interpreted in conjunction with clinical symptoms and other diagnostic findings.
