C-Reactive Protien High Sensitivty ( hs-CRP )

Short Name: hs-CRP
Sample required: Serum
Result Time: 1 Days

This is an automated blood test designed for greater accuracy in measuring low levels of CRP, mainly to assess cardiovascular risk. High CRP levels are associated with inflammation, which can damage the inner lining of the arteries and make having a heart attack more likely. People with HIGHER hs-CRP values have the highest risk of cardiovascular disease, and those with LOWER values have less of a risk.
