Spot and Monitor Hidden Inflammation Easily
Did you know? C-reactive protein (CRP) is a key indicator your body uses to signal inflammation. It rises quickly within a few hours when there's a problem and stays in your blood for about 8 hours, making it a helpful tool for spotting and tracking health issues.

Understand Your Body’s Inflammation witha Simple CRP Test
Are you experiencing fever, fatigue or rapid breathing symptoms? They might all be signs of hidden inflammation in your body. C-reactive protein levels are the first step at KP Pharma to uncovering underlying health issues and improving your wellbeing. Here’s why you need a CRP test:
Bacterial and Viral Infections:
Identifies acute infections quickly.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD):
Assists in monitoring Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Autoimmune Disorders:
Tracks conditions like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
Lung Diseases:
Assessment of inflammation in asthma and other chronic lung conditions.
Symptoms Indicating theNeed for CRP Testing
A C-reactive protein test is a useful diagnostic tool for identifying and monitoring inflammation in the body. Either because of an acute bacterial infection or a chronic inflammatory condition, CRP levels allow early detection and treatment planning. The following symptoms may warrant this test.
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 how much CRP is in your bloodstream. CRP is a protein made by your liver and released into the blood when there’s inflammation in your body. CRP levels are normally low, but they rise rapidly with an infection, a chronic disease or another health issue that causes inflammation. This test detects and monitors inflammation lending valuable insights into your health.
Untreated inflammation may cause:
Autoimmune conditions worsening
Chronic gastrointestinal discomfort in IBD.
Progression of infections into more severe illnesses.
Exacerbation of chronic lung issues, decreased lung function.

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. |
