Understanding CRP (C-Reactive Protein), Quantitative in Chandigarh

What is CRP (C-Reactive Protein), Quantitative in Chandigarh?

The CRP (C-Reactive Protein), Quantitative is a simple blood test that measures the level of CRP in the body. It is available at an affordable price in Chandigarh with Tata 1mg labs. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein produced by the liver. Usually, its levels in your blood are low; however, they can rise in response to inflammatory conditions, including infection, trauma, heart, and autoimmune diseases, within the first 6-8 hrs. When the inflammation or tissue injury subsides, CRP levels decrease, making it a valuable marker for monitoring disease progression. However, the test does not show the exact location or the possible cause of the inflammation.

Your doctor may advise this test if you experience symptoms suggestive of inflammation, such as fever, chills, redness, swelling, nausea, vomiting, rapid breathing, and/or rapid heart rate. Other tests are performed along with CRP to diagnose a particular condition and determine the location. This test also helps monitor treatment progress post-infection or inflammation.

What does CRP (C-Reactive Protein), Quantitative measure?

The CRP test measures the levels of C-reactive protein in your body. This test helps detect the presence of inflammation in the body. It is a non-specific test as it cannot diagnose a condition by itself or determine its exact location or cause.

CRP is an acute phase reactant protein produced by the liver in response to an inflammation in the body. This inflammation may be due to tissue injury, infection, autoimmune diseases, or cancer. CRP levels are often increased before the onset of other symptoms of inflammation, such as pain, redness, fever, or swelling. These levels fall as the inflammation subsides.
