Description
Testing for low levels of inflammation in your body using hs-CRP, a highly regarded clinical marker for:
Indicating your risk from cardiovascular diseases including stroke, heart attack and death in apparently healthy individuals.
It is well established that level of inflammation is linked to cardiovascular diseases. For example, in inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, the risk of developing cardiovascular disease is higher than the general public. hs-CRP is a sensitive marker of inflammation and is therefore useful in understanding risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
It is also useful to monitor this situation – cardiovascular disease from inflammation develops over the long term. Therefore, if you have previously had this test and had a result showing high levels of inflammation, you can repeat it several weeks/months later to ensure resolution of inflammation.
