About this test
The CRP (C-Reactive Protein) Quantitative test measures the level of CRP, a protein your liver makes when there is inflammation or infection in the body. It helps doctors judge how severe an infection or inflammation is and whether treatment is working.
Preparation & sample
Overnight fasting is preferred. You can drink plain water. Tell us about any recent illness, injury or surgery.
What does this test measure?
It measures the exact amount of C-reactive protein in your blood, in mg/L. CRP rises within hours of an infection or injury and falls quickly once it settles, which makes it useful for tracking illness day by day.
When should you get this test?
- Fever, especially when your doctor wants to know if a bacterial infection is likely
- Suspected infections such as pneumonia, urinary or wound infections
- Joint pain and swelling, or a known inflammatory condition such as rheumatoid arthritis
- After surgery, to watch for infection
- To check whether antibiotics or other treatment are working
Understanding your results
- A low CRP means there is little or no active inflammation.
- A raised CRP shows inflammation or infection but does not show its location or cause.
- Very high levels are more often seen with bacterial infections than with viral ones, though there is overlap.
- A falling CRP on repeat tests usually means you are recovering.
This test is different from hs-CRP, a more sensitive version used to assess heart disease risk in healthy people.
