C- Reactive Protein (CRP)-Rapid
What does C- Reactive Protein (CRP)-Rapid measure?
The C-Reactive Protein (CRP)-Rapid test measures the level of CRP, a protein that may rise in the blood when there is inflammation in the body. It may be used to help assess suspected infection, inflammatory conditions, tissue injury, or to monitor changes in inflammation over time. CRP levels are not specific to one condition, so results are interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, and other test findings.
