C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Quantitative

Umm Al Hamam Al Gharbi, Riyadh - 145KM

The C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test is a blood test that measures the level of C-reactive protein, a substance produced by the liver in response to inflammation in the body. Elevated CRP levels indicate that there may be inflammation due to infection, injury, or chronic disease.

At Genalive, our quantitative CRP test provides accurate and fast results, helping physicians assess inflammation levels and monitor treatment effectiveness.

When is the CRP Test Used?
Doctors commonly request the CRP test to:
1- Detect inflammation or infection in the body.
2- Evaluate conditions such as bacterial or viral infections, autoimmune disorders, and chronic inflammatory diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus).
3- Monitor patients after surgery or during treatment to check for infection or recovery progress.
4- Assess the risk of cardiovascular disease, as elevated CRP levels can be linked to heart inflammation and arterial damage.

How the CRP Test Helps You
1- Early Detection: Identifies inflammation before symptoms become severe.
2- Accurate Diagnosis: Helps distinguish between bacterial and viral causes of illness.
3- Treatment Monitoring: Evaluates how well your body is responding to antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications.
4- Heart Health Insight: Supports early cardiovascular risk assessment, especially when combined with cholesterol and lipid profile tests.
