    Product Description

    hs-CRP (inflammation or infection ultra sensitive)

    Hs-CRP stands for high-sensitive C-reactive protein, or high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. It is a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation in the body.

    Hs-CRP is primarily used to:

    • Inflammation detection: Low-grade inflammation can also be sported with this. These are not directly related to infections or acute diseases.
    • Cardiovascular disease: Assessing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Chronic, low-grade inflammation plays a role in the development of atherosclerosis (arteriosclerosis) and other heart problems.

     

    Note! The normal determination of CRP is performed to demonstrate or rule out the possible presence of inflammation or infection, or to monitor the outcome of treatment of inflammation.

    Does this test accurately reflect a possible risk of cardiovascular disease ?

    Several recent studies have revealed that the hs-CRP, particularly when combined with total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol, is a strong predictor of future coronary disease in apparently healthy individuals. This research was conducted because low-grade, chronic inflammation is suspected to play an important role in the process of arteriosclerosis.

    What is the difference between BSE (sedimentation rate) and hs-CRP?

    Before CRP was applied, the sedimentation rate (erythrocyte sedimentation rate, or BSE) was used to demonstrate inflammation. However, at the onset of a disease process, it can take several days before there is an increase in BSE. With that, the sedimentation rate changes much more slowly than the CRP, which is elevated in six to eight hours after inflammation begins. Also, after the extinction of a disease process, BSE decreases much more slowly than CRP. Furthermore, the sedimentation rate also depends on gender, age, pregnancy, drug use, hematocrit and red blood cell morphology, among other factors. Because of all these factors, sedimentation in the acute phase of inflammation has become of less diagnostic value.

    I want to discuss my results with a doctor. Is this possible?

    Yes, you can visit your own doctor with the results. You can also request a consultation via our 'Extra services'. We have several internists and coaches with whom you can discuss your results and who can also help you with any problems/complaints you may have.
