Also known as: hsCRP, Cardiac CRP, CRP for heart disease
No common urgent flag from this test alone
The hs-CRP test measures very low levels of C-reactive protein in your blood, which is a marker of inflammation. It helps to detect even slight inflammation that might not be found by a standard CRP test.
Doctors often order this test to assess your risk of developing heart disease or stroke, especially if you have other risk factors. It helps to identify ongoing, low-level inflammation that can contribute to these conditions.
Reference ranges for hs-CRP can vary between different laboratories and may depend on factors like age and sex. Always refer to the specific ranges provided by your lab and discuss your results with your healthcare provider.
