The high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test is a blood test that measures very low levels of CRP, a protein produced by the liver, to detect subtle, chronic inflammation. It is primarily used to assess the risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks, stroke, and atherosclerosis, especially in asymptomatic individuals
INDIVIDUAL TEST
While the HsCRP test requires no special preparation, certain factors can affect C-reactive protein levels.
These factors include:
Same Day
How to Interpret the HsCRP test Results?
Doctors typically interpret HsCRP test results as follows:
Symptoms of high C-reactive protein depend upon the underlying cause of inflammation. Some common symptoms include:
1.Exhaustion
2.Muscle soreness, weakness and stiffness
3.Fever (low grade)
4.Chills
5.Headache
6.Nausea and loss of appetite
7.Difficulty sleeping
8.Unexplained weight loss
The standard C-reactive protein test cannot detect small increments in C-reactive protein levels, while the HsCRP test can.
The standard C-reactive protein test is performed to determine the cause of inflammation, such as:
The HsCRP test mainly predicts the risk of coronary artery disease.
