C-Reactive Protein - Quantitative (CRP) Test In Agra - Price & Details

If we talk about C-reactive Protein specifically, also referred to as CRP, it belongs to a group of proteins known as acute phase reactants. This reactant sees an increase in response to the inflammatory conditions.

In normal terms, you have low levels of CRP in your blood. Your liver releases more CRP into your bloodstream if you have inflammation in your body. But in case the level of CRP increases in your body, it will lead to a serious health condition that causes inflammation.

Inflammation is necessary for your body as it protects your tissues and helps them heal from an injury, infection, or other disease. It can further be divided into two ways: acute and temporary. If inflammation lasts too long, it can damage healthy tissues. CRP tests will be conducted to get the exact amount of inflammation in your body. However, the test can't show what's causing the inflammation or which part of the body is getting affected by it.

You will be recommended the CRP test if you're facing any of the following symptoms:

• Fever or chills
• Rapid heart rate
• Rapid breathing
• Nausea and vomiting

Other than this, a chronic condition might also call for a CRP test. In case you're already suffering from the condition, you may need this test to monitor your condition and treatment. A decrease in CRP fall is generally considered a positive sign as it means that you're healing on your own.
