HS CRP

HS-CRP, or high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, is a blood test measuring low levels of C-reactive protein, a marker for inflammation. Specifically used for assessing cardiovascular risk, elevated HS-CRP levels have been associated with a higher likelihood of heart attacks and strokes. The test provides valuable insights into underlying inflammation, aiding in risk assessment even when symptoms are absent. Results, reported in milligrams per liter, are considered alongside other risk factors to gauge an individual’s susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases. It’s important to note that while HS-CRP is informative, its interpretation should involve consultation with healthcare professionals, as various factors can influence the results.
