Hello,

We extend our sincere gratitude for choosing Gleneagles Hospital Malaysia for your healthcare requirements.

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a blood test that measures the level of CRP, a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. It measures lower levels of C-reactive protein than the standard CRP test , which can be associated with various health issues, particularly cardiovascular disease. .Elevated levels of hs-CRP, like your reading , can indicate increased inflammation, which is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attack and stroke.

Here’s a brief breakdown of what this means for you:

Connection to Cardiovascular Disease: Elevated hs-CRP levels are linked to inflammation in the arteries, which can contribute to atherosclerosis (the buildup of plaque in arteries). This can increase your risk of heart disease.
