C-Reactive Protein (CRP), High Sensitivity

C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a substance produced by the liver in response to inflammation in the body. High Sensitivity CRP testing is a specialized blood test that can detect even low levels of CRP in the blood, which can be an indicator of inflammation and potential risk for conditions such as heart disease, infection, or autoimmune disorders. High levels of CRP may also be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events. The test is often used as a marker for monitoring and managing inflammatory conditions and assessing overall heart health.
