Overview
C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the most sensitive acute-phase reactants for inflammation. CRP is synthesized by the liver. CRP elevations may not point towards specific disease but rather are useful for the detection of systemic inflammatory processes; to assess the treatment of bacterial infections with antibiotics; to detect intrauterine infections with concomitant premature amniorrhexis; to differentiate between active and inactive forms of disease with concurrent infection. Measuring changes in the concentration of CRP provides useful diagnostic information about the level of acuity and severity of a disease, and can aid in monitoring disease progression and response to therapy.

-
Guide treatment of Sepsis: A potentially fatal condition known as sepsis arises due to the body's reaction to a bacterial infection, causing widespread inflammation in the body.
-
Monitor flare-ups: This test can be advised to monitor the flare-ups of a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
-
Assess the Treatment: It is used to check the efficacy of the treatment given to manage a chronic inflammatory condition.
When is the Crp (quantitative) Recommended ?
If you have following conditions, then CRP (Quantitative) Test is advised:
-
Bacterial or viral infection
-
Symptoms such as fever, chills, redness or flushing, nausea, vomiting, rapid breathing, and/or rapid heart rate
-
Autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus
-
Minor inflammation
