    What is a C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test?

    The C-Reactive Protein test (CRP test) is a blood test used to measure the level of CRP in your blood. CRP is generated by the liver in response to inflammation. High levels of CRP can indicate inflammation in the body, which may be caused by a variety of health conditions. The CRP blood test is a simple and quick procedure that provides valuable information about inflammation in your body. However, it is important to note that the test cannot identify the specific cause of the inflammation.

    This test is usually done on its own or as part of a larger panel of tests ordered by your doctor. Understanding your CRP levels can assist your doctor in monitoring your health and adjusting your treatment plan as needed.

    C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test Parameters

    The CRP blood test measures the levels of CRP in your blood. Results are typically given in milligrams per liter (mg/L). Inflammation is your body's defense mechanism to heal from injury, infection, or disease. Inflammation can be acute (sudden), like when you have a cut or trauma (major injury), or chronic (long-standing), caused by conditions like repeated injuries, autoimmune disorders, or chronic infections. Increased levels of CRP indicate inflammation in the body.

    C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test Preparation

    Here are a few points to consider before you get a C-Reactive Protein test also commonly known as CRP Blood Test

    • Prerequisites: No special preparation like fasting is needed for the CRP test. However, if you’re scheduled to undergo other tests along with the CRP test, consult your doctor for guidance.

    • The best time to get tested: There are no specific requirements regarding the timing of the test. You can reach out to your doctor for better guidance on the timing of the test.

    • Eligibility for C-Reactive Protein test: There are no strict eligibility criteria for a CRP test. This test is accessible to anyone.

    • Cautions before doing the C-Reactive Protein test : You don’t have to take any precautions before undergoing the C-Reactive Protein test.

    Why Take a C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test?

    You may be advised to get the CRP test done to:

    • Identify inflammation in bacterial or viral infections, such as osteomyelitis or sepsis.

    • Identify inflammation in conditions like lung diseases like asthma.

    • Identify inflammation caused by autoimmune conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or inflammatory bowel conditions like ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.
