What is C-Reactive Protein, CRP ?
The C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Quantitative test is a blood test that measures the exact level of CRP, a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation in the body. CRP levels rise when there is acute or chronic inflammation, making this test a useful marker for identifying infections, autoimmune diseases, and other inflammatory conditions. The test provides a numerical value indicating the concentration of CRP in the blood, helping healthcare providers assess the severity of inflammation and monitor the effectiveness of treatment. While CRP is not specific to any single disease, elevated levels often signal an ongoing inflammatory process in the body. This test is commonly ordered when a patient presents symptoms such as fever, unexplained fatigue, or localized pain and swelling, which could indicate an infection or inflammatory condition. It is also used to monitor chronic inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease and to evaluate the risk of cardiovascular conditions, as elevated CRP is associated with heart disease. By providing precise measurements, the CRP Quantitative test helps in diagnosing underlying health issues, tracking treatment progress, and assessing the risk of complications.
