The CRP (C-Reactive Protein), High Sensitive Test (HS-CRP) is a blood test used to measure the level of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the blood. CRP is produced by the liver in response to inflammation. The high-sensitivity version of the test (HS-CRP) is more precise than the standard CRP test, allowing for the detection of even small increases in CRP levels. This test is particularly useful for identifying low-grade inflammation that may be linked to chronic conditions such as heart disease or autoimmune disorders. The HS-CRP Test is often prescribed for individuals who show signs of infection, such as fever, rapid heart rate, and nausea, or for those already diagnosed with chronic inflammatory conditions to monitor treatment effectiveness.

Elevated CRP levels detected by the HS-CRP Test can signal the presence of inflammation, which may indicate acute infections, such as bacterial or viral infections, or chronic conditions like heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or autoimmune diseases. Persistent inflammation, as detected by high CRP levels, is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke. Monitoring CRP levels through this test helps in early detection and management of inflammation-related conditions, reducing long-term health risks.
