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

The body uses inflammation as a response in case of any infection or injury, as a mechanism to improve healing. There are two kinds of inflammations - acute and chronic. If the inflammation is acute and transient, it can be advantageous in fighting off the infection, but chronic inflammation can cause damage to the healthy tissues. The CRP levels are high in case of any inflammation, but the test cannot determine the exact cause of the inflammation or the location in the body that has the inflammation. Additional tests will have to be done for this.

During the CRP Test

If the CRP test has been booked with PharmEasy Labs, you will be assigned a phlebotomist as soon as the booking is made. The phlebotomist is responsible for collecting the blood sample from your house, using sterilised needles and gloves that are disposed of after use. The vein finder device is a handy tool that assists them to make the process as painless as possible, as it locates the best vein to draw the blood from. The test will be done within 10 minutes.
