C Reactive Protein Blood Test (CRP) (cont.)

Recommendations for Patients to have C-reactive Protein Testing

Some experts recommend routine measurement of c-reactive protein along with cholesterol measurement as a screening tool for cardiovascular disease. However, this is not a widely accepted recommendation and its practice remains controversial. However, if c-reactive protein screening is performed, then two separate measurements need to be done (ideally done two weeks apart) with the average of the measurements used to assess risk.
