High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein (hsCRP) test
The hsCRP test measures low levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the blood with high analytical sensitivity.
CRP is an acute-phase protein produced by the liver, and its concentration increases in response to systemic inflammation.
The hsCRP test is primarily used to assess the risk of cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease.
