Overview
The CRP test is a useful tool for doctors to comprehend and address various health concerns. It's suggested if you have signs of inflammation, such as fever, a fast heart rate, or muscle soreness. After surgery or injury, it may be advised to detect infections during your recovery.
C-reactive protein levels in the blood are categorised as follows:
- Normal: Equal to less than 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
CRP levels can fluctuate due to factors like recent injury, mild elevations unrelated to any underlying illness, and slightly higher levels observed in females and the elderly. Additionally, lifestyle factors such as obesity, pregnancy, smoking, specific medications, and magnesium supplements can influence CRP levels.

Test Necessity
The CRP test is essential in healthcare because it reliably detects inflammation. This aids in diagnosing health issues related to inflammation, from infections to autoimmune diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus) and even certain cancers. The test is also helpful in tracking treatment progress and evaluating disease severity, including life-threatening cases like sepsis.
Test Preparation
Fasting is usually not required for a CRP test, which is a simple blood test. However, if you're getting multiple tests, including CRP, PharmEasy will provide you with any specific fasting or dietary instructions, if needed.
During the CRP Test
During the test, a vaccinated phlebotomist will draw blood from a vein in your arm. They will use fresh test kits, including sterilized syringes and a Vein Finder tool. The whole testing process will be quick, taking only 3-5 minutes.

Limitations

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.
