The CRP Qualitative Test is a laboratory investigation used to detect the presence of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) in the blood.

CRP is an acute-phase protein produced by the liver. Its levels may increase in response to inflammation, infections, tissue injury, and certain inflammatory disorders.

Why Is the CRP Qualitative Test Recommended?

• Infection Assessment: Supports evaluation of possible bacterial or other infections.
• Inflammation Detection: Helps identify inflammatory conditions.
• Clinical Assessment: Supports investigation of fever and unexplained inflammatory symptoms.
• Disease Monitoring: May help assess inflammatory conditions alongside other investigations.

Sample Requirements

• Sample type: Blood (Serum).
• Fasting: Not required.
• Preparation: No special preparation is generally needed.

Understanding Your Results

• Positive / Reactive: CRP is detected above the assay’s qualitative detection threshold.
• Negative / Non-reactive: CRP is below the detection threshold of the test.

A positive result does not identify the cause or location of inflammation. A negative result does not completely exclude inflammation or infection.
