What does it the CRP Test Detect?
The liver produces C-reactive protein (CRP) sensitivity in the blood during acute inflammation.
Why should you get one?

What are the Instructions for use?

- Shower before you take your sample or run your hands under warm water for a few minutes, as heat improves flow.
- Do light exercise (move around, walk, etc.) to get the blood flowing.
- Ensure your arm is below your heart level – let gravity do some of the work.
- Nails that are too long can make it difficult to collect a sample.
- Do not shake the sample vigorously, but invert the tube gently ten times. (gently swirl the line after each drop.
- Do not squeeze the finger (milk).
- Re-warm your hands during collection where needed.
