CRP Blood Test
CRP Blood Test
The CRP Blood Test, or C-Reactive Protein Test, is a widely used diagnostic tool that measures the level of CRP in your bloodstream — a protein that rises in response to inflammation. CRP is produced by the liver and is part of the body's natural immune response to injury, infection, or chronic disease. It acts as a sensitive marker, helping clinicians detect and monitor acute infections, inflammatory conditions, and chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune disorders, or cardiovascular disease.
This test is commonly requested in both hospital and GP settings, and is supported by national clinical guidance, including from NICE and the Royal College of Pathologists, due to its usefulness in both acute and long-term health assessments.
What Does It Test For?
The CRP blood test is used to detect the presence and severity of inflammation in the body. A raised CRP level indicates that inflammation is occurring somewhere, though it doesn't specify the source. It is often used alongside other tests and symptoms to help diagnose infections, autoimmune diseases, or monitor response to treatment. CRP levels can also rise after surgery, trauma, or in chronic conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or lupus. In cardiovascular care, a more sensitive version of the test — called high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) — is used to evaluate heart disease risk.
