A CRP test helps detect the extent of inflammation in the body. The human body employs inflammation as a way to defend your tissues and speed up the process of healing after an injury, infection, or other disease. However, prolonged inflammation tends to harm healthy tissues. A CRP test thus reveals whether and how much inflammation you have in your body.

Your doctor will advise you to get a C-reactive protein (CRP) test to help identify or rule out specific conditions, such as severe bacterial infections like sepsis, fungal infections, inflammatory bowel disease, pelvic inflammatory diseases, or autoimmune diseases like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. If you are experiencing signs of a bacterial infection like fever or chills, a rapid heartbeat, shallow breathing, nausea, or vomiting, you may be required to undergo this test. Doctors may also recommend this test to assess the effectiveness of any ongoing treatment or medications in controlling inflammation and the underlying condition causing it.

You don’t need any special preparation to undergo the CRP test as it does not require the patient to fast.

During the CRP test

Once the CRP test has been booked, a trained PharmEasy phlebotomist will visit your location at the specified time. They will collect the blood sample using sterilised needles and gloves. The phlebotomists also use a special device called a vein finder to locate the best vein to draw blood from, reducing discomfort. The blood sample is then stored in barcoded vials and safely transported to the laboratory for testing.
