Overview
CRPs are released into the bloodstream in response to inflammatory conditions. The test comes in two forms: qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative test determines if CRP levels are within the normal range, while the quantitative test provides the specific value of CRP in the blood. A high-sensitivity CRP test (hs-CRP) is more sensitive and is used to assess the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Results in individuals with these conditions should be interpreted carefully as they may affect the CRP levels:
- Recent injuries or illnesses can artificially raise CRP levels.
- Slightly higher CRP levels are common in females and the elderly.
- Factors like obesity, sleep problems, pregnancy, and smoking can lead to minor CRP level changes.
- Some medications and magnesium supplements may falsely lower CRP levels.

Test Necessity
The CRP test is crucial in identifying conditions such as infections, autoimmune diseases, tissue injuries, and even recovery from inflammation. Elevated CRP levels may suggest various health issues, including heart attacks, sepsis, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. The test is prescribed when a patient exhibits signs of acute or chronic inflammation, like fever, body pain, or autoimmune symptoms.
Test Preparation
The CRP test is straightforward and doesn't demand any specific preparation such as fasting or dietary adjustments. However, if you're having multiple tests that require fasting, your doctor may recommend a 9-12 hour fast. It's essential to inform your doctor about any medications or magnesium supplements you're using since they can affect your CRP levels.

After scheduling your CRP test, a PharmEasy technician will visit your chosen location to collect the sample. They follow safety protocols and collect the blood sample in a barcoded vial, a quick process taking 5-10 minutes. Your CRP sample will then be sent to the lab for testing.
