What is the CRP (Quantitative) Test?
The CRP (C-reactive protein) quantitative test measures the exact level of CRP in your blood. CRP is a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. Elevated CRP levels indicate inflammation in the body, which can be caused by infections, chronic inflammatory diseases, or other medical conditions. This test helps in assessing the severity and monitoring the progression of inflammation.

Purpose of the CRP (Quantitative) Test:

1. Detect Inflammation:

   • The test is used to detect inflammation in the body, which may indicate acute or chronic conditions like infections, autoimmune disorders, or inflammatory diseases.

2. Monitor Disease Activity:

   • It helps monitor disease activity in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or inflammatory bowel disease, and evaluates the response to treatment.

3. Assess Cardiovascular Risk:

   • CRP levels can also help assess the risk of heart disease. High levels of CRP are associated with an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes.

4. Post-Surgical Monitoring:

   • It is often used to monitor patients after surgery to detect any infections or complications early.

Sample Type:
Blood sample (serum).

Preparation for the Test:

• Fasting: Fasting is not required for the CRP test. You can eat and drink normally unless advised otherwise by your healthcare provider.
• Medications: Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking, as some drugs, like anti-inflammatory medications, may affect CRP levels.

Collection Method:

• A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm using a sterile needle. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis to measure the CRP level quantitatively.
