C-Reactive Protein (Quantitative) is offered at a sophisticated and NABL/NABH accredited diagnostic centre. This blood test is a measurement of the concentration of C-reactive protein (CRP) that is present in the blood. CRP is a blood protein that is manufactured by the liver during inflammation. It can be detected in cases of infections or inflammatory conditions in which there is damage to the body, helping the doctor to determine the level of inflammation in the body.

What is C-Reactive Protein (Quantitative) - CRP?

CRP (Quantitative) is a lab test that is done with a blood sample to determine the levels of C-reactive protein in the blood. Increased CRP levels could be related to bacterial or viral infections, immune disorders, inflammatory diseases, or injury. The test is repeated if the person is further tested to see if any changes in inflammation occur, and to determine the effect of treatment.

Conditions Evaluated

Bacterial and Viral Infections

Influxes of the inflammatory reaction triggered by infections can lead to an increase in the amount of CRP present. The test can be helpful in a physician's diagnosis of whether or not a person has inflammation, and can be used to help monitor the disease during treatment, but it can't actually determine the specific organisms that are causing it.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

It is an autoimmune inflammatory condition of the joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness of the joints. When performed using CRP, this monitoring function can help identify the level of inflammation and the progression or regression of inflammation over time.

Autoimmune Disorders

Diseases caused by the immune system in reaction to its own tissues are called autoimmune disorders. Certain inflammatory conditions, such as Lupus, may also have an elevated CRP level, although this occurs in some cases and some may not have Lupus.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (said to be inflammatory bowel disease) cause a chronic inflammation of the digestive tract. Where testing can be used should be considered to eliminate CRP as a marker of inflammation and to monitor its relationship to therapy.

Tissue Injury and Inflammation

Inflammation can cause an increase in CRP levels and can happen after any type of physical trauma, burns, or surgery. The test can be employed to monitor recovery from inflammation.

Systemic Inflammation

Systemic inflammation is inflammation that's more widespread throughout the body. Levels of CRP that are raised above the normal range will inform doctors whether there is inflammation in the body and whether it needs to be investigated any further.
