hsCRP Test for Inflammation Marker
Inflammation is your body's natural response to injury and infection, but when it becomes chronic, it can silently contribute to serious health conditions—including heart disease. The ICare hs-CRP (High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein) Test measures very low levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) in your blood, providing valuable insight into inflammation that may not cause noticeable symptoms.
Unlike a standard CRP test, the high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) test is specifically designed to detect subtle levels of inflammation that are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This makes it an important tool for individuals looking to better understand their heart health and overall wellness.
Whether you're evaluating your cardiovascular risk, monitoring chronic inflammation, or taking a proactive approach to preventive care, the hs-CRP Test offers valuable information to help guide your healthcare decisions.

What Does This Test Measure?
The hs-CRP Test measures high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation.
Small increases in hs-CRP may indicate low levels of inflammation associated with:
Cardiovascular disease
Atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in the arteries)
Obesity
Diabetes
Metabolic syndrome
Smoking
Other chronic inflammatory conditions
Because inflammation can also result from infections, injuries, or recent illness, your healthcare provider will interpret your results alongside your medical history, symptoms, and other laboratory findings.
The hs-CRP test is not designed to diagnose a specific disease, but rather to provide additional information about inflammation and cardiovascular risk.
