C-Reactive Protein, High Sensitivity (hs-CRP) details

What C-Reactive Protein, High Sensitivity (hs-CRP) shows

High-sensitivity CRP measures the same inflammatory protein as standard CRP, but using a more precise method able to detect the lower-level, chronic inflammation relevant to cardiovascular risk, rather than just the higher levels seen with acute infections or injuries. It's used specifically to help refine cardiovascular disease risk assessment, since ongoing low-grade inflammation in blood vessel walls is thought to contribute to plaque buildup and heart attack risk. Because any recent infection, injury, or even vigorous exercise can temporarily raise hs-CRP, it's best measured when you're otherwise healthy, and elevated results are usually interpreted alongside cholesterol levels and other cardiovascular risk factors rather than as a standalone risk marker.
