What is High-Sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP)?
Measures very low levels of C-reactive protein to assess cardiovascular inflammation risk. Unlike standard CRP, hs-CRP detects subtle chronic inflammation linked to heart disease.
Why is this test important?
hs-CRP < 1 mg/L = low cardiovascular risk. 1-3 = moderate risk. > 3 = high risk. Independent predictor of heart attack and stroke when combined with lipid profile.
How to Prepare
Avoid strenuous exercise 24 hours before. Test when no acute infections present.
