Health Monitoring: Helps you assess inflammation levels and monitor recovery or treatment progress.
What This Test Measures
This test measures C-reactive protein (CRP), a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation or infection. CRP levels can rise in the body due to:
Infection
Injury
Chronic inflammatory diseases
Elevated CRP levels may indicate that your body is actively responding to a health issue. This test provides valuable information about your body’s inflammation status.
Who Should Take This Test?
This test is useful for individuals who:
Are experiencing symptoms like fever, fatigue, or headaches.
Want to monitor post-surgery recovery or treatment progress.
Need to assess inflammation levels related to chronic conditions or infections.

CRP and Inflammation
Elevated CRP levels are commonly associated with:
Infections
Trauma
Chronic inflammation or disease flare-ups
The test helps you identify possible causes of inflammation in the body, and whether further medical attention is needed.
Biomarkers included
- CRP: C-reactive protein (CRP) is produced by the liver in response to inflammation and tissue injury. Elevated CRP indicates that an inflammatory process is present, which may be caused by infections, autoimmune or inflammatory diseases, and other conditions that activate the immune system. High-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) measures lower CRP levels and is used to assess low-grade inflammation that has bee
How to prepare
No fasting is required. Ensure your hands are clean and warm to facilitate better blood flow for the finger prick.
Frequently asked questions
What does a high CRP level mean?
A CRP test measures general inflammation in the body. High levels may indicate an acute infection (usually bacterial), chronic inflammatory diseases, or significant tissue damage. It is a non-specific marker, meaning it tells you that inflammation is present but not its exact location.
What is the difference between this test and an hs-CRP test?
The CRP rapid test is designed to detect high levels of CRP associated with acute inflammation and infection. The hs-CRP (high-sensitivity) lab test is used to measure much lower levels of inflammation and is specifically focused on assessing long-term cardiovascular and heart health risks.
What is included in the test kit?
The kit includes a test cassette, a sterile lancet for a finger prick, a blood collection tube, and a bottle of diluent. You will only need to provide a timer and a cotton swab to complete the process.
