    What Is an hs-CRP Test?

    The hs-CRP (High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein) test measures small levels of C-reactive protein in the blood. CRP is produced by the liver in response to inflammation. Inflammation can result from infections, injuries, or chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.

    The hs-CRP test is a valuable tool for evaluating cardiovascular risk. When combined with lipid profile tests, it can help determine an individual's likelihood of developing heart disease or experiencing a heart attack.

    Orange Health Labs provides at-home testing with quick sample collection and fast report turnaround for hs-CRP testing.

    hs-CRP Test Preparation

    No special preparation or fasting is required for the hs-CRP test.

    Who Should Get This Test?

    • Individuals with risk factors for heart disease

    • People with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a smoking history

    • Patients being monitored for systemic inflammation

    During the Test:

    • A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm by a phlebotomist

    • The collection takes less than 5 minutes and may cause only minor discomfort

    After the Test:

    • The sample is processed in a laboratory

    • Results are shared digitally within 6 hours of sample collection

    Why Take an hs-CRP Test?

    Doctors recommend the hs-CRP test to evaluate your risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially if you have other risk factors like high cholesterol, diabetes, or a history of smoking.

    The test may also be recommended if:

    • You have a moderate risk of heart attack or stroke

    • You are undergoing evaluation for cardiovascular health

    • You need to assess ongoing low-level inflammation

    Elevated hs-CRP levels are linked to an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and peripheral artery disease, even when cholesterol levels appear normal.

    hs-CRP Test Results & Interpretation

    Interpreting hs-CRP results helps assess cardiovascular risk:

    • Low risk: <1.0 mg/L

    • Average risk: 1.0–5.0 mg/L

    • High risk: >5.0 mg/L

    Higher values indicate inflammation and may suggest a higher likelihood of cardiovascular events. These results should be interpreted with other risk factors like cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and blood sugar.

    Your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes, medications, or further testing if hs-CRP levels are elevated. Related tests often include:

    • Lipid Profile

    • APO-A1, APO-B

    • Lipoprotein (a)

    Discuss your complete risk profile with your healthcare provider for accurate guidance and prevention strategies.
