C-Reactive Protein High-Sensitivity (hsCRP)

High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) Test in Slough
The high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) blood test is a specialised diagnostic tool that measures very low levels of CRP in the bloodstream. CRP, or C-reactive protein, is produced by the liver in response to inflammation and serves as a key marker in identifying underlying health concerns.

What Makes hsCRP Different?
Unlike the standard CRP test, the hsCRP test is capable of detecting subtle, low-grade inflammation that may not be identified by conventional methods. This makes it especially valuable for assessing hidden or chronic inflammation that can increase the risk of long-term health conditions.

Why is hsCRP Testing Important?
Low-grade inflammation, as identified through hsCRP testing, has been linked to:

Cardiovascular disease

Increased risk of heart attack

Stroke

Atherosclerosis and other chronic conditions

Even individuals with normal cholesterol levels may be at increased cardiovascular risk if hsCRP levels are elevated.

How hsCRP is Used in Risk Assessment
The hsCRP test is often used alongside cholesterol tests and other cardiac risk markers to provide a more accurate prediction of cardiovascular events. It helps guide preventive measures and early interventions for heart health.

Limitations of the hsCRP Test
While hsCRP is a sensitive indicator of inflammation, it does not reveal the specific cause. Elevated hsCRP levels may require further diagnostic testing to identify the root of the inflammation and determine the most appropriate treatment.
