Because inflammation contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease, this assay is used to estimate cardiovascular risk alongside traditional factors such as cholesterol and blood pressure.
About C-Reactive Protein Test, High Sensitivity in Dover
High-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) is a laboratory assay designed to detect low-grade inflammation that standard CRP testing may miss.
C-reactive protein is an acute-phase reactant produced by the liver. Its concentration rises with infection, injury, and inflammatory conditions, and it also rises modestly with chronic low-grade inflammation associated with atherosclerosis.
The high-sensitivity version of the test uses methods calibrated to measure CRP within the lower range, typically between roughly 0.5 and 10 milligrams per liter. This sensitivity allows clinicians to stratify cardiovascular risk: values below 1 mg/L are generally considered lower risk, 1 to 3 mg/L average risk, and above 3 mg/L higher risk, though these categories are interpreted in the context of the whole clinical picture.
Because CRP is nonspecific, an elevated result does not identify the source of inflammation. Recent infection, trauma, inflammatory arthritis, and other conditions can raise the value, so testing is usually deferred during acute illness. When used for cardiovascular risk assessment, hs-CRP is often combined with lipid testing to refine risk estimates.
