hsCRP (High Sensitive CRP) near me in Hyderabad

An hsCRP (High Sensitive CRP) test has greater sensitivity and can detect even low levels of CRP in the bloodstream. This allows for a more precise assessment of inflammation, particularly in individuals at low to moderate cardiovascular risk. This test helps assess the risk of cardiovascular disease, monitor inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, and assess inflammation in individuals with autoimmune disorders or chronic infections.

Higher hs-CRP levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including coronary artery disease, heart attack, and stroke. Your doctor may recommend the hs-CRP test if you have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease. The test is used with other risk factors, such as cholesterol levels and blood pressure, to assess overall cardiovascular risk and guide preventive interventions.

In addition to cardiovascular risk assessment, the hs-CRP test monitors inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and inflammatory bowel disease. Changes in hs-CRP levels over time may indicate disease activity or response to treatment.

No fasting is required for this test. You can eat and drink normally as per your routine. Your doctor will also examine your results based on age, diet, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and other factors. Narrate your complete medical history to help them correlate your clinical and laboratory findings. The results will help the doctor determine your medical condition and formulate your treatment plan.
