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

CRP, also known as C-reactive protein, is released by the liver in response to inflammation. Normal CRP levels indicate no inflammation, while elevated levels suggest the body is fighting infection or recovering from trauma. In acute conditions with a weak defence, CRP values may remain high for an extended period, and recent injury or illness can temporarily raise results.

The CRP test is recommended for individuals showing acute inflammatory symptoms like fever, rapid heart rate, and pain, as well as those with chronic signs such as fatigue and unexplained weight loss.

CRP is a simple blood test that does not require fasting. However, if you're undergoing multiple tests with CRP, fasting for 9-12 hours may be necessary. Please inform your doctor about any medications you're currently taking before taking the CRP test.

During the CRP Test

The sample collection process for the CRP test is fairly simple and straightforward. A vaccinated technician will arrive at your location. Following all safety protocols, they will draw a small blood sample. Fresh test kits will be used to draw the blood. Once the sample is collected, it will be stored safely in an icebox to prevent degradation. The entire process will barely take any time and will be completed within 3-5 minutes.

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.
