Description
This test measures for C-reactive protein (CRP), a protein made by the liver and released into the blood after the start of an infection, tissue injury or other inflammation.
It is often the first evidence of inflammation or infection in the body, before pain, fever or other clinical indicators.
High levels of CRP can indicate that further testing and treatment may be necessary, for example to identify if a chronic inflammatory condition is present.
This test can also be used to assess efficacy of treatment – for example if you are taking antibiotics – this test can be used to assess if inflammation is settling which would suggest that the infection is getting better.
Testing from home is an affordable alternative to visiting a doctor or private clinic. No need to make an appointment or take time off work.
