The CRP (C-Reactive Protein) test is a vital diagnostic tool used to detect inflammation in the body. Performed at Ibn-E-Sina Clinical Laboratory, this test helps doctors identify infections, chronic inflammatory conditions, and assess cardiovascular risk.
There are two primary types of CRP tests available at Ibn-E-Sina: CRP (High Sensitive) and CRP (Qualitative). The high sensitive CRP (hs-CRP) test detects even minor increases in CRP levels, useful for evaluating heart disease risk and chronic low-grade inflammation. The qualitative CRP test, on the other hand, provides a simple positive or negative result to indicate the presence of inflammation in the body.
Doctors often recommend CRP testing for patients with persistent fever, pain, unexplained fatigue, or chronic diseases. Ibn-E-Sina Clinical Laboratory is renowned for accurate diagnostics, professional care, and timely results, making it a trusted choice for patients across Pakistan.
What is CRP Test?
The CRP test measures the amount of C-Reactive Protein in the blood, a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation.
Types of CRP Tests
- CRP (High Sensitive):
- Detects low levels of CRP in the blood
- Helps assess cardiovascular risk and chronic inflammation
- Recommended for preventive health check-ups
- CRP (Qualitative):
- Provides a simple positive or negative result
- Indicates presence or absence of inflammation
- Useful for rapid screening of infections or inflammatory conditions
When Do Doctors Recommend CRP Testing?
- Suspected infections or inflammatory conditions
- Monitoring chronic illnesses like arthritis or lupus
- Routine cardiovascular risk assessment
- Evaluating treatment response for inflammatory diseases
Why is CRP Test Important?
The CRP test is an essential tool for both preventive healthcare and disease monitoring.
- High Sensitive CRP allows early detection of cardiovascular risk, helping patients take proactive measures.
- Qualitative CRP gives quick insight into whether inflammation exists, allowing timely follow-up with detailed testing if needed.
Elevated CRP levels may indicate infection, autoimmune conditions, or other underlying health issues. Detecting inflammation early helps doctors provide targeted treatment and prevent complications.
When Should You Get a CRP Test?
- Routine health check-ups for preventive care
- Symptoms of infection such as fever, fatigue, or localized pain
- Chronic conditions like arthritis, lupus, or inflammatory bowel disease
- Follow-up testing after treatment to monitor recovery
Always consult your doctor to determine the right CRP test type and timing based on your health profile.
How to Prepare for CRP Test?
Preparation is simple for both CRP tests:
- Fasting: Not usually required, but follow your doctor’s advice
- Medication: Inform your doctor about anti-inflammatory drugs or supplements
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water before the test
- Rest: Avoid heavy physical activity 24 hours before the test
These steps ensure accurate and reliable test results.
How is CRP Test Performed at Ibn-E-Sina Clinical Laboratory?
Both CRP tests are performed using a blood sample:
- A trained phlebotomist cleans the site and draws a small blood sample from the arm.
- CRP (High Sensitive): The sample is analyzed using advanced immunoassay techniques to measure precise CRP levels.
- CRP (Qualitative): The sample is tested to detect presence or absence of inflammation.
Ibn-E-Sina Clinical Laboratory ensures privacy, hygiene, and accurate results using certified equipment and professional procedures.
