Silent Inflammation Could Be Harming You — Find Out Fast
Inflammation is behind many hidden health problems — from infections to heart disease. Your C-reactive protein (CRP) levels rise sharply when your body is fighting inflammation, sometimes long before symptoms show.

Understand Your Body’s Inflammation witha Simple CRP Test
Are you experiencing fever, fatigue, or shortness of breath that doesn’t seem to go away?
These may be signs of hidden inflammation — your body’s early warning system that something isn’t right.
At KP Pharma, our C-reactive protein (CRP) test helps uncover underlying issues before they escalate. Here’s why it matters:
Detect Infections Early:
CRP levels rise rapidly within hours of an infection or injury. Testing can help distinguish between bacterial and viral infections — guiding the right treatment and helping avoid unnecessary antibiotics.
Monitor Digestive Inflammation (IBD):
Track flare-ups in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. CRP helps your healthcare provider assess how active inflammation is and how well your treatment is working.
Manage Autoimmune Conditions:
In diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, CRP levels reflect ongoing inflammation and help measure response to therapy or disease flare.
Evaluate Lung and Respiratory Health:
Chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, COPD, or bronchitis can cause ongoing inflammation. CRP testing supports early detection of infection-related flare-ups or worsening lung function.
Support Heart and Metabolic Health:
Even mild, long-term elevation in CRP (known as low-grade inflammation) is linked with a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Detecting this early can prompt simple lifestyle changes that protect your long-term health.
Symptoms Indicating theNeed for CRP Testing
A C-reactive protein (CRP) test is a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying and monitoring inflammation in the body. Whether caused by an acute bacterial infection or a chronic inflammatory condition, changes in CRP levels allow for early detection and timely treatment planning.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, a CRP test may be recommended:
Fever or Chills
A high body temperature or episodes of chills usually indicate an infection.
Rapid Heart Rate
Unusually fast heartbeat may signal an active infection causing systemic inflammation.
Rapid Breathing
Difficulty catching your breath or unusually fast breathing may indicate infection-related inflammation.
Nausea and Vomiting
These symptoms may occur with infections causing systemic or localised inflammation.
Autoimmune Disorders
Lupus, rheumatoid or arthritis and symptoms such as joint pain, swelling and fatigue.
IBD (inflammatory Bowel Disease - Crohn's Disease, ulcerative colitis)
Signs include abdominal pain, diarrhea and weight loss.
Lung Conditions (e.g., asthma)
Signs include wheezing, shortness of breath or chronic coughing.
How and What We Measure
A C-reactive protein (CRP) test measures the amount of CRP circulating in your bloodstream. CRP is a protein made by your liver and released whenever there’s inflammation in your body.
Under normal conditions, CRP levels are very low — but they can rise sharply within hours in response to infection, injury, or chronic disease. By measuring these levels, the test helps detect hidden inflammation, monitor treatment progress, and guide further investigations when necessary.
Knowing your CRP level gives you a clearer picture of your body’s internal health — helping you and your healthcare provider act early, treat effectively, and track recovery.
When inflammation is left unchecked, it can silently damage your body over time — increasing the risk of serious health problems. Elevated CRP levels signal that your body is fighting something that shouldn’t be ignored.
Untreated inflammation may lead to:
Worsening Autoimmune Conditions: Uncontrolled inflammation can trigger flare-ups in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, leading to progressive joint or organ damage.
Chronic Digestive Issues
Infections Becoming Severe
Declining Lung Function
Long-Term Health Impact
Early detection through a CRP test helps prevent these complications and supports timely treatment before lasting damage occurs.

Understanding and Interpreting YourCRP Test Results
| CRP Level (mg/L) | What It Means for Your Health |
Less than 5 mg/L | Normal levels:Indicates no significant inflammation, typically associated with good overall health. Retest annually or as advised by a healthcare provider. |
5 to 100 mg/L | Raised Levels:Indicates mild to moderate inflammation, which may be linked to infection, injury, or chronic conditions. Consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation. Retest in 1-3 months or as advised. |
More than 100 mg/L | Very High Levels:Indicates significant inflammation, often due to severe infection, autoimmune conditions, or other serious issues. Immediate medical attention is recommended. Retest as advised by a specialist. |
