C-reactive protein (CRP) Qualitative Test detects the presence of CRP in blood. This is a simple blood test that detects the conditions such as arthritis, lupus, acute bacterial/ viral infection, heart disease and autoimmune disease. It also helps to monitor the treatment post an infection and inflammation.

CRP is a nonspecific marker of inflammation and it can rise in any inflammatory condition. It can neither diagnose a condition by itself nor can it determine the location of a particular disease. Other tests are performed along with CRP qualitative to diagnose a particular condition and determine the location.

A positive result means that the CRP levels in the blood are increased.
