Possible Effects of Blood Collection
A routine blood draw is low risk. You may feel a brief sting when the needle goes in, and some people notice temporary bruising, soreness or light-headedness afterwards. Fainting and infection are uncommon. The sample is collected at your home by a trained phlebotomist using sterile equipment, and the draw takes only a few minutes. If you feel unwell during or after collection, tell the phlebotomist or speak to your doctor.
CRP is released into the bloodstream when our body experiences inflammation, whether it be from an infection, an injury, or a long-term illness like arthritis. The liver produces this protein as a component of the body's defense system. Consider it as a warning sign in the bloodstream that something isn't quiet right within our body.
