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

    The C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test is a simple blood test that reflects inflammation in your body, with the liver generating CRP in response to inflammatory processes. Elevated CRP levels indicate the presence of inflammation but do not reveal its exact cause. This quick and easy test provides important insights and is often conducted on its own or as part of a larger group of tests ordered by a doctor. Monitoring CRP levels aids doctors in tracking your health and adjusting treatments, as necessary.

    If you live in Delhi and suffer from inflammatory conditions, CRP tests can be highly beneficial. By measuring inflammation caused by various health issues, scheduling a CRP test in Delhi can help your doctor better understand your condition.

    C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test Parameters

    The CRP test has a single parameter: quantifying the levels of C-Reactive Protein in blood (with results given in milligrams per litre (mg/L)).

    Inflammation serves as the body's protective mechanism to repair injuries, fight infections, or address diseases. It can be acute, occurring suddenly due to trauma or cuts, or chronic, arising from repeated injuries, autoimmune disorders, or persistent infections. Elevated CRP levels suggest inflammation within the body.
