About test
What does HIGH SENSITIVITY C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (HS-CRP) measure?
The high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test measures very low levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation in the body. It may be used to help assess cardiovascular risk in some individuals or to monitor low-grade inflammation alongside other clinical findings and tests. hs-CRP levels can rise for many reasons, including infection, injury, and inflammatory conditions, so results are interpreted in clinical context.
