Test Necessity
The CRP test is advised by medical practitioners to detect inflammation in the body. Your doctor may call for a CRP test if you are showing symptoms like fever with chills, rapid heart rate, nausea and vomiting, muscular soreness, exhaustion, loss of appetite, unexplained loss of body weight, etc.
CRP levels in the blood increase rapidly in response to inflammation and decrease just as swiftly as the condition resolves. Hence, the CRP test aids in the diagnosis of acute or chronic inflammation. It is also used to monitor the treatment of bacterial and viral infections and of chronic inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, sepsis, asthma, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, etc.
Test Preparation
No fasting or any other special preparation is required for a CRP test. However, it is advisable to check with a medical practitioner if you can continue with any ongoing medications.
During the CRP Test
The CRP test requires the collection of your blood sample, which is a simple and safe 5 to 10 minute procedure. The PharmEasy phlebotomist (sample collection agent) uses a sealed kit for sample collection. This sealed kit contains one-time use-and-dispose equipment and will be opened in your presence just before the test.. The rep will sanitize his hands and wear a pair of disposable gloves. A special Vein Finder device helps easily locate a vein in one of your hands, and blood is collected using a disposable syringe and stored in a barcoded vial. The rep will clean the needle puncture with an antiseptic solution and apply a bandage.

Limitations
- Inadvertent interference of test results due to errors made by either the equipment or the operator

Test Result Interpretation
After collecting samples, it may take some time for the results to arrive. The doctor is the person who can explain the results appropriately. A qualitative CRP-positive test result indicates increased CRP levels in the blood.
Increased levels of CRP indicate inflammation, which could result from an infection, trauma, autoimmune illnesses, malignancies and other factors.
