C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test in Gorakhpur - Price & Details

As we have already told you, CRP is a protein that's produced in your liver. It is sent to your bloodstream, and its general levels are low. Generally, CRP levels will increase in your body before you suffer from any symptoms. If your fever is about to shoot up, the CRP level will see a high as well. Since its increased or decreased levels go parallel with infections, it's important to do a CRP test whenever your body shows some symptoms.

Even if you're healthy, you can go for a high-sensitivity CRP test to measure your heart disease risk. It will depend upon whether your doctor feels that you have got the infection or not. Once the sample has been collected, it will take some time to bring you the results. The normal standard range of CRP is going to differ in different cases:

• Normal: 0.3 mg/dL
• Minor elevation: 0.3 to 1.0 mg/dL
• Moderate elevation: 1.0 to 10.0 mg/dL
• Marked elevation: More than 10.0 mg/dL

In case you have suffered from sickness or injury recently, the reports might not be accurate.
