C-reactive protein (CRP) is a biomarker used to measure inflammation in the body. It is a protein produced by the liver whose levels rise in response to inflammation.
Testing for CRP can be useful for assessing your risk of cardiovascular diseases. It is often recommended for individuals with risk factors for these conditions, such as smoking, high blood pressure, or a family history of heart disease, to identify early indications of inflammation and potential higher risk of heart problems.
A CRP test helps detect inflammation in the body, which may indicate an increased risk of heart diseases or other inflammation-related conditions.
A high level of CRP in the blood indicates increased inflammation in the body, which can be associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction and stroke.
A low level of CRP suggests a low risk of inflammation and therefore a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases. It is an indicator of good heart health.
