What is High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP)?

The High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) test measures the level of C-reactive protein, a substance produced by the liver in response to inflammation. It's a more sensitive version of the standard CRP test, capable of detecting lower levels of inflammation in your body.

Why is this test important?

This test is primarily used to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease, as chronic low-grade inflammation plays a significant role in its development. It can also help monitor inflammatory conditions and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment for various inflammatory disorders.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
