The C-Reactive Protein (CRP) – Qualitative test determines whether CRP is present in the blood above a detectable level. CRP is produced by the liver in response to inflammation, infection, or tissue injury. This test is commonly used as a screening tool to identify acute infections, inflammatory conditions, autoimmune disorders, and post-surgical inflammation. Unlike quantitative CRP, this test provides a positive or negative result, helping clinicians quickly assess whether further investigation is required.
