Overview
If the body has an infection or injury, it uses inflammation as a response to improve healing and to defend the tissues. Inflammation can be acute and transient, and while short period inflammations are advantageous, prolonged periods can cause damage to the healthy tissues. During an inflammation, the CRP levels in the body are higher, and the test reveals this inflammation, along with the levels, but it can’t detect the cause of the inflammation, and where in the body the inflammation is.
PharmEasy Labs offers the CRP test along with 500 other tests, generating accurate results that are trusted by doctors all over the country. The test samples are analysed in state of the art laboratories with fully automated machines, and then an expert doctor verifies these results. The test results will be sent on the registered email address in a timely manner so that you can take immediate action if the results are abnormal. There is also a lot of ease in getting the tests done as there is no need to visit a diagnostic centre, the test will be done from the comfort of your home.

During the CRP Test
The CRP test can be booked with PharmEasy Labs. Since it is a blood test, a phlebotomist will be assigned who will visit the location to draw the blood. The phlebotomist carries a vein finder device that enables them to locate the ideal vein in the forearm to draw blood from, along with fresh disposable kits that contain sterilised needles and gloves. The blood sample is safely stored in barcoded vials and then sent to the laboratory for testing.
