(CRP) Test?
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein made by the
liver. CRP levels in the blood increase when
there is a condition causing inflammation
somewhere in the body. A CRP test measures the
amount of CRP in the blood to detect
inflammation due to acute conditions or to
monitor the severity of disease in chronic
conditions.C-Reactive Protein (CRP)

What does the test result mean?
The level of CRP in the blood is
fon normally low.When To Go Tested ?.
The C-reactive protein (CRP) test is used to
detect inflammation.
CRP is used to detect or monitor
significant inflammation in acute
conditions, such as:
A serious bacterial infection of the lung,
urinary tract, digestive tract, skin, or
other sites, with or without sepsis.
A fungal or viral infectionD The T Resu
Mean?
The level of CRP in the blood is normally
low.
Increased CRP level:
¢ Ahigh or increasing amount of CRP in the blood
suggests the presence of inflammation but will
not identify its location or the cause.
* Suspected bacterial infection—a high CRP level can
provide confirmation that you have a serious
bacterial infection.
If the CRP level is initially elevated and drops, it means
that the inflammation or infection is subsiding and/or
responding to treatment.
