The High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) test is more sensitive than the standard CRP test. This is because the high-sensitivity test can detect slight increases within the normal range of standard CRP levels.
High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) is often ordered in conjunction with other tests that are performed to assess the risk of heart disease, such as a lipid panel to determine the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
The test is not recommended as a routine test. A hsCRP test may be most beneficial for people with a 10- 20% chance of having a heart attack within the next ten years.
This is a single-marker test measuring hs-CRP. It is used to assess cardiovascular disease risk.
