HsCRP High Sensitivity CRP
This blood test measures high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels. It helps assess the risk of heart disease and inflammation. Even small increases are clinically important. Doctors use it for cardiovascular risk assessment.
An HS CRP test measures the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the blood. CRP is produced by the liver and released into the bloodstream whenever inflammation occurs in the body. This highly sensitive test is often prescribed for patients with autoimmune conditions like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, where inflammation is a common concern. Doctors may also use it to monitor the progress of anti-inflammatory treatments or to check for underlying infections. One important use of the HS CRP test is in diagnosing heart attacks and assessing the risk of a second heart attack. CRP levels typically rise during a heart attack. Unlike standard CRP tests, the HS CRP test is highly sensitive and can detect even minor increases in CRP levels. It’s important to note that while the HS CRP test indicates the presence of inflammation, it does not pinpoint its exact location. Further diagnostic tests are often needed to identify the root cause. It is a simple blood test that doesn’t require you to move out of your home. A trained phlebotomist will reach your doorstep to collect the sample. It’s always a hassle-free diagnostic experience with Healthians! Healthians prioritises your comfort and health!
