High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) Test |#RCF| 01 Parameter(s) Covered

C-reactive protein is produced in the liver and is known as a marker of inflammation. This marker is measured through an hsCRP blood test . Inflammation is a method so that the body can prevent itself from infections or injuries caused due to hypertension, high blood sugar, and smoking. Excess inflammation is associated with heart disease. 

As per the WHO data, in 2016, India reported 63% of total deaths due to NCDs, of which 27% were linked to CVDs. CVDs also accounted for 45% of deaths in the 40 to 69 age group. The hsCRP levels can measure the risk of developing heart disease. So, it is essential to check your levels from time to time.

The hsCRP test is also used to diagnose a large range of inflammatory conditions with increased levels like autoimmune conditions, infection, pericarditis, cancer, and tissue & organ injury.
