CRP (C-Reactive Protein), Quantitative near me in Greater Noida

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 Greater Noida 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.
