Because CRP rises with inflammation, this test is used to detect subtle, chronic inflammation that may contribute to cardiovascular risk.
About C-Reactive Protein Test, High Sensitivity in Goose Creek
High-sensitivity CRP is a marker of low-grade systemic inflammation that has been studied as an independent predictor of cardiovascular events.
C-reactive protein is produced by the liver in response to inflammation, infection, and tissue injury. The standard CRP test detects larger elevations, while the high-sensitivity assay is calibrated to quantify CRP within the lower reference range, where small differences carry meaning for cardiovascular assessment.
Results are typically reported in milligrams per liter. In cardiovascular risk stratification, values below 1 mg/L are often considered lower risk, 1 to 3 mg/L average risk, and above 3 mg/L higher risk, though these categories are interpreted alongside other clinical factors.
Because CRP lacks specificity, an elevated result does not identify the source of inflammation. Acute illness, injury, recent surgery, and chronic inflammatory conditions can all raise the value, so the test is most informative when the person is clinically stable and the result is considered in context.
