Previously, something called the \"sink\" was often used, which was actually a Swedish invention and method. Today, a so-called CRP test is taken instead. CRP is an abbreviation for C-Reactive Protein and is an important part of the immune system. \u003cstrong\u003eSimply put, the concentration of CRP increases during infection or inflammation.\u003c\/strong\u003eTherefore, measuring this value is a safe and reliable way to detect infection or inflammation at an early stage.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIn healthy individuals, the CRP concentration is lower than 8 mg\/l\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the concentration level may be higher than 100 mg\/l in severe infection or during an inflammatory process. Intermediate levels, i.e. from 8 to 100 mg\/l often indicate viral or bacterial infections that require further investigation by a doctor.\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy test CRP?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\nIn healthcare, CRP tests are common; CRP tests are normally performed when there is suspicion of infection or inflammation in the body. \u003cstrong\u003eCRP tests can be used to detect serious illnesses that may be caused by bacteria.\u003c\/strong\u003e The CRP value can also be measured to check for chronic inflammation in the body. This applies, for example, to certain diseases of the joints and intestines. The CRP value normally increases when the disease is in an active phase. In healthcare, CRP is taken after operations, to rule out infection. \u003cstrong\u003eElevated CRP levels mean an increased risk of future cardiovascular disease. \u003c\/strong\u003eHowever, it is important to remember that levels \u003e10 mg\/L most often detected during an ongoing or recent infection such as a cold.\n\n \n\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication information\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nFact-checked 2025-02-16 by\n\u003cem\u003eLeg Doctor\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eLeg Nurse\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Quicktest Sverige","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57375004295552,"sku":"CRP735","price":17.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/9199\/2448\/files\/quicktest_crptest_v2.jpg?v=1770665917","url":"https:\/\/quicktest.se\/en-be\/products\/crp-test","provider":"Quicktest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
