CRP Blood Test
INFORMATION
The CRP blood test helps assess the level of C-reactive protein (CRP) in your bloodstream, a protein that rises when the body experiences inflammation. Produced by the liver, CRP levels increase in response to infections, autoimmune disorders, or chronic conditions like heart disease. High CRP levels can indicate the presence of an underlying health concern that requires attention.
This test is an excellent tool for monitoring your body’s inflammatory responses and evaluating the risk of diseases such as cardiovascular conditions, arthritis, or infections. Regular CRP testing can help identify inflammation early and enable timely medical intervention.
WHO CAN TAKE THE CRP BLOOD TEST?
The CRP test is ideal for individuals wishing to track inflammation levels in their body. It is particularly useful for those at higher risk for heart disease, autoimmune disorders, or persistent infections. It is also recommended for individuals with conditions like arthritis to monitor inflammation or for those undergoing treatments to manage their inflammatory levels.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Once your CRP test results are in, a healthcare provider will analyze the data in context with your symptoms and medical history. If your CRP levels are elevated, further diagnostic tests or treatments may be suggested to address any underlying conditions or inflammation.
