What is hs-CRP?
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a blood test that can detect very low levels of CRP. CRP is a protein produced by the liver that enters the bloodstream in response to inflammation. The "high-sensitivity" version of the test is more sensitive than standard CRP tests and can detect subtle levels of inflammation.
Why should you have hs-CRP tested?
Testing for hs-CRP is useful for people who want to understand if there is low-grade inflammation in their body, which can be an indicator for various health problems, including heart disease. It can also be useful for assessing the risk of chronic diseases and monitoring the effectiveness of certain treatments.
What does it indicate?
An elevated hs-CRP level indicates the presence of inflammation in the body. Although it does not specifically indicate where the inflammation is occurring, it can help doctors determine if further investigation is necessary.
What does a high hs-CRP level mean?
A high level of hs-CRP may indicate an increased risk of heart disease and can also be a sign of chronic inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or infection.
What does a low hs-CRP level mean?
A low hs-CRP level is indicative of a low risk of inflammation-related health problems and is the goal for general health and well-being.
