Service Description
What Is a CRP Blood Test?
A CRP blood test measures the level of C-Reactive Protein in your bloodstream. This protein is produced by the liver when inflammation is present. The higher the inflammation, the higher the CRP level.
Unlike slower markers, CRP responds quickly. Levels can rise within hours of infection, injury, or inflammation. And it falls just as fast when the issue improves. That makes this inflammation marker test especially useful when symptoms feel sudden or severe.
This C-reactive protein level test does not diagnose a condition on its own. Instead, it provides clear evidence that inflammation is active and further investigation may be needed.
