Heart and cholesterol

hs-CRP test

Also called high sensitivity CRP

A sensitive measure of low-level inflammation.

Typical range
Below 1 mg/L is low risk; 1–3 average.

Why it's done

Sometimes used to refine heart risk when other results are borderline.

What a high result can mean

Above 3 mg/L suggests higher heart risk, if there is no current infection.
