What is C Reactive protein?

C Reactive protein (CRP) is a protein made by the liver in response to inflammation. It can be detected in the blood and used as a marker for: Inflammation disease Heart disease Autoimmune diseases Kidney disease Cancer It tends to increase after a heart attack, surgery, or trauma.

What does a C Reactive protein test measure?

The C Reactive protein (CRP) test measures the concentration of C Reactive protein in your blood. Since CPR has a direct relationship with inflammation, CRP testing is used to help diagnose and monitor inflammatory diseases and can also be useful in monitoring physical trauma recovery.

What is a high hs-CRP (high sensitivity CRP) result?

Levels above 3.0 mg/L of high sensitivity C Reactive Protein are considered high. High levels of CPR can increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. This is related to inflammation, which may have multiple causes, among which are infections and chronic diseases.

What is the difference between a high sensitivity C Reactive protein and a regular CRP?

The standard CRP test measures markedly high levels of this protein to detect diseases that cause significant inflammation. It measures CRP in the range from 10 to 1000 mg/L.The hs-CRP test accurately detects low levels of CRP to identify persistent levels of inflammation and evaluate individuals for risk of CVD. It measures CRP in the range from 0.5 to 10 mg/L.
