C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein produced in the liver. Blood concentrations of CRP typically increase in response to tissue injury, infection, and inflammation. CRP levels can rise as much as 1,000-fold after a serious event, and this test can help healthcare professionals diagnose and monitor severe inflammatory responses. The high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) is more sensitive than a CRP test and accurately detects low but persistent levels of inflammation, which may be associated with developing CVD. If your hs-CRP level is abnormal, a healthcare provider may recommend additional testing to help further assess your risk.
hsCRP Test for Inflammation Marker
The hsCRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) test is a vital tool for assessing low but persistent levels of inflammation in the body. This test is particularly useful for healthcare professionals to evaluate the risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). With a simple blood sample, you can gain insight into your inflammatory status and take proactive steps towards better health.
What is hsCRP?
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein produced by the liver, and its levels in the blood can rise significantly in response to inflammation, infection, or tissue injury. The hsCRP test is more sensitive than standard CRP tests, making it capable of detecting lower levels of CRP that may indicate a heightened risk for cardiovascular issues.
