C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test
A C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test measures the level of CRP in the blood, indicating inflammation and helping to diagnose conditions like infections or chronic diseases. Elevated CRP levels often suggest an active inflammatory process. The CRP test is vital for monitoring therapeutic responses and evaluating risks for cardiovascular diseases.
