Our Price: $45.00

 

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a normal protein that can be measured in the blood. It appears in higher amounts when there's swelling somewhere in your body. Your doctor may check your C-reactive protein level after surgery or treatment for infections or other medical conditions. The C-reactive protein test can also be used to check your risk of developing coronary artery disease, a condition in which the arteries of your heart are narrowed. Coronary artery disease can eventually lead to a heart attack.
