High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP)

Details
High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein is a cardio and inflammatory marker. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an established marker of inflammation and has recently been suggested to be an important contributor to pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic elements of cardiovascular disease risk. Extremely high CRP levels are seen in acute inflammatory states, but the small elevations that are indicative of the pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic states implicated in the metabolic syndrome require high sensitivity assays.
