Frequently asked questions
Do I need to fast for a CRP test?
Usually no. A standard CRP test does not require fasting unless your clinician orders other tests at the same time.
What can cause a high CRP?
Infection, injury, autoimmune conditions, and other inflammatory states can raise CRP. A single result does not identify the cause.
Can CRP tell me if I have a specific disease?
No. CRP shows that inflammation is present but not where it is or what is causing it.
How long until I get results?
Typical turnaround is 1 to 3 business days, though it may vary by lab.
