What this test screens for
Understanding the C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
The C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test measures a protein your liver releases into the blood when there is inflammation in the body. CRP is a general, non-specific marker: it can rise in response to many sources of inflammation, from an infection to an injury to a flare of an inflammatory condition. Because it reacts broadly, a CRP result tells you that inflammation is present somewhere, which is useful information for a provider piecing together a larger picture.
It is worth knowing how this standard CRP test differs from the high-sensitivity version. The hs-CRP test we offer separately is calibrated to detect very low levels and is used in the context of cardiovascular risk assessment. The standard CRP measured here is geared toward more general inflammation, where levels tend to be higher. If you are unsure which one fits your situation, your provider can point you to the right test, and our staff can help you find it.
A CRP value screens and monitors; it does not identify what is causing the inflammation. The number tells your provider that something is active, not where or why, so it is almost always read alongside symptoms and other tests. We draw the sample, run the test, and deliver a clear report through our secure portal for you to share. Our pricing is transparent and shown upfront, so you will see the price listed on this page before any sample is collected.

What to expect
From check-in to results — what your visit looks like
Most visits take under 15 minutes. Here’s the full arc, start to finish.
How to prepare
No fasting is generally required for a standard CRP test, and you can come in at any time during open hours. If your provider has bundled it with panels that do require fasting, follow those instructions instead. Recent vigorous exercise, a current infection, or an injury can temporarily raise CRP, so it helps to mention anything like that to our staff so it can be noted with your sample. Continue any prescribed medications unless told otherwise.
During your visit
The visit is brief. After checking in at our Goose Creek Village location, a trained collector draws a small blood sample from a vein in your arm, which takes only a minute or two. Most people are done in about 10 to 15 minutes, and walk-ins are welcome during open hours. There is no special preparation needed beyond any instructions tied to other tests you may be having.
Getting your results
Results are typically available in 24 to 72 hours after your sample reaches the reference lab. You can view your CRP result through our secure online patient portal, and we can fax the report to your provider on request. Tests are processed at industry-standard reference labs, and any value flagged outside the expected range is reviewed by a provider. The report is yours to share with your physician, who interprets the result alongside your symptoms and history.

FAQ
C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test — what people ask
Specific questions about the c-reactive protein (crp) test. For anything not covered, call 571-500-7030.
What does the CRP test measure?
It measures C-reactive protein, which your liver releases into the blood when there is inflammation somewhere in the body. CRP is a general, non-specific marker, so it signals that inflammation is present without identifying the cause.
How is this different from the hs-CRP test?
The high-sensitivity hs-CRP test we offer separately is calibrated to detect very low levels and is used in cardiovascular risk assessment. This standard CRP is geared toward more general inflammation, where levels tend to be higher, and your provider can point you to the right one.
Do I need to prepare for the test?
No fasting is generally required, and you can come in any time during open hours. Recent vigorous exercise, a current infection, or an injury can temporarily raise CRP, so mention anything like that so it can be noted with your sample.
