hsCRP (High Sensitive CRP) near me in Ahmedabad

A high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test measures low levels of CRP and may be used to evaluate an individual risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke. CRP levels increase in the blood with inflammation, infection as well as after a heart attack, surgery, or trauma.

Relatively high levels of hs-CRP in healthy individuals are predictive of an increased risk of a future heart attack, stroke, and sudden cardiac death.

High-sensitivity CRP along lipid profile can be a useful test for screening the risk of CVD and heart attacks. The hs-CRP test results indicate a person’s risk according to the level of the protein, low risk when levels are <1 mg/L, the moderate risk is between 1-3 mg/L and high risk is >3 mg/L.
