About this test

High-Sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) is the fine-grained version of the CRP test — sensitive enough to read the low-grade inflammation simmering inside blood vessels, which is one of the engines of heart attacks and strokes.

Where ordinary CRP tracks infection and obvious inflammation, hsCRP reads cardiovascular risk. Values below 1 mg/L signal low vessel inflammation; 1–3 is average; above 3 flags higher cardiac risk — especially meaningful when read with a lipid profile in people whose cholesterol looks borderline.

The people who benefit most: those with a family history of early heart disease, diabetics, smokers, and anyone whose standard reports look "almost normal" but whose gut says otherwise. It is one home blood draw, no fasting needed, processed at an NABL-grade partner laboratory — and best booked together with a lipid profile so the risk picture is complete.
