Get a CRP (C-Reactive Protein) blood test at VRX Diagno Lounge, Goregaon West a sensitive marker of acute inflammation that responds within hours, used to detect infection severity and monitor autoimmune disease activity. No fasting needed. Pathologist-reviewed report by evening. 24×7 home collection.
C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is produced by the liver in response to inflammation and rises within 6–12 hours of an inflammatory stimulus, peaking at 24–48 hours. It is more sensitive and faster-responding than ESR and is used to detect bacterial infection severity, monitor autoimmune disease activity, and follow post-operative recovery. The high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) variant detects very low levels useful for cardiovascular risk stratification.
CRP rises sharply (often above 100 mg/L) in significant bacterial infection useful in pneumonia, UTI, sepsis
Tracks normal recovery curve; persistent rise after day 3–5 may signal complications
Used to monitor RA, IBD, and vasculitis flares; falls with effective treatment
Low-grade inflammation marker adds prognostic value when interpreted with lipid profile
Combined with procalcitonin and clinical signs, helps assess severity in critically ill patients
CRP tends to be much higher in bacterial than viral infections useful in fever workup
To assess infection severity and follow response to antibiotics
Critical in emergency settings alongside clinical signs and procalcitonin
Daily trend during the first week to detect complications early
RA, lupus, IBD to monitor flares and treatment response
hs-CRP adds risk-stratification beyond cholesterol alone
To rule out infection pregnancy itself does not raise CRP much
RA/IBD patients on anti-TNF drugs CRP normalisation is a key endpoint
Combined with ESR for a more complete picture
| Parameter | What It Measures | Reference Range |
|---|---|---|
| Normal (CRP) | Healthy adults no significant inflammation | < 5 mg/L |
| Mild Elevation | Low-grade or chronic inflammation | 5–10 mg/L |
| Moderate | Active inflammation, viral infection | 10–40 mg/L |
| Marked | Significant bacterial infection or active autoimmune disease | 40–200 mg/L |
| Severe | Sepsis, severe infection, major trauma | > 200 mg/L |
| hs-CRP Cardiac Risk | Low / Avg / High cardiovascular risk | < 1 / 1–3 / > 3 mg/L |
CRP within normal range makes acute bacterial infection or active inflammation unlikely. Continue routine yearly screening if you have risk factors.
Elevated CRP signals inflammation the higher the value, the more likely a bacterial cause. Trend over 48–72 hours is more useful than a single number. Your physician will correlate with symptoms and history.
Every report is reviewed by an experienced pathologist with clear interpretation and clinical comment.

Truly appreciated the personal attention and professional approach during my aqua therapy sessions. The physiotherapist explained everything clearly. Highly recommended for anyone needing supervised pool-based rehab.
Started here after my knee surgery on my doctor's recommendation. The 1-on-1 sessions made a real difference and the team was supportive and patient throughout my recovery process. Worth every visit.
My mother has been visiting VRX Goregaon for arthritis-related sessions. The staff is patient, the centre is clean and well-maintained, and the pricing is transparent exactly what we were looking for.
Detailed initial consultation, no rushed appointments. The aqua therapy approach felt much gentler on my joints than regular gym workouts. Will continue here for the foreseeable future.
Easy to book, professional team, and a well-maintained therapy pool. I felt reassured by the close supervision throughout each session. Worth the visit if you need supervised aqua therapy in Mumbai.
Have visited multiple physio centres, but the depth of attention at VRX is genuinely different. They actually adapt the plan as you progress instead of giving everyone the same routine.
