Details

The CRP blood test from Walk-In Lab determines whether a high or increasing amount of CRP in your blood suggests an acute infection or inflammation.

Results for the CRP blood test are available within two to three days and no fasting is required when preparing. Walk-In Lab's C-Reactive Protein blood tests can be ordered without insurance and without a doctor's order.

In severe cases of inflammation, c-reactive protein increases. Therefore, CRP tests are ordered when a risk of acute inflammation (from an infection after surgery for example) is present, or suspected based on symptoms. This blood test can also be ordered to help evaluate conditions such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, and it is often repeated to determine whether treatment is effective (this is helpful for inflammation problems since CRP levels drop as inflammation subsides). CRP blood tests can additionally be used as an early detection system for possible infections in patients who have healing wounds, burns, surgical cuts or incisions, or who have just had an organ transplant.
