Monitoring CRP levels helps doctors track the effectiveness of infection treatments. It's a valuable tool for understanding and managing the body's response to various health challenges. The test plays a key role in identifying acute or chronic inflammatory conditions.

It is particularly necessary when symptoms of bacterial infections, such as fever and rapid heart rate, are present and in cases of severe conditions like sepsis. By measuring CRP levels, healthcare providers gain valuable information to guide diagnosis and treatment plans.

No specific preparation is required for the CRP test. You can continue with your regular routine, and there's no need to fast or alter your diet. However, it's essential to be aware that certain factors like medications, lack of sleep, smoking, obesity, and others can potentially cause a false increase in CRP levels.

To ensure accurate results, inform your doctor about any medications you are currently taking. Also, if you're getting other tests that require fasting, the doctor might ask you to fast for 9-12 hours before the sample collection.
