Understanding hsCRP (High Sensitive CRP) in Lucknow
What is hsCRP (High Sensitive CRP) in Lucknow?
An hsCRP (High Sensitive CRP) test is a blood test that measures the level of C-reactive protein ( CRP) at very low concentrations. CRP is a marker of inflammation in the body, and hs-CRP specifically detects low levels of CRP, which can indicate long-term low-grade inflammation. Available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Lucknow, this test is used to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly in individuals who may not have symptoms but have other risk factors such as high cholesterol, obesity, or a family history of heart disease. Elevated hs-CRP levels are associated with an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular events. Additionally, this test can be used to monitor inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), lupus, etc. and to assess the effectiveness of treatment in reducing inflammation.
No fasting is required for this test. You can eat and drink normally as per your routine.
What does hsCRP (High Sensitive CRP) measure?
An hsCRP (High Sensitive CRP) test is a state-of-the-art biochemical marker to predict potential risks of future diseases. This test is more sensitive than the standard CRP test and can also detect lower CRP levels in the blood. Its accuracy in predicting cardiovascular issues, autoimmune disorders, and other health issues makes it an excellent test to detect asymptomatic conditions with limited diagnosis.
Answers to Patient Concerns & Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about hsCRP (High Sensitive CRP) in Lucknow
Frequently Asked Questions about hsCRP (High Sensitive CRP) in Lucknow
Q. Do I need to fast before taking an hsCRP (High Sensitive CRP) test?
No fasting is required for this test. You can schedule it at your convenience without avoiding food or water beforehand.
Q. Is there any risk associated with this test?
There is no risk associated with the test. However, since this test involves a needle prick to withdraw the blood sample, in very rare cases, a patient may experience increased bleeding, hematoma formation (blood collection under the skin), bruising or infection at the site of needle prick.
Q. What is the difference between CRP test and hs-CRP test ?
The standard CRP test measures markedly high levels of CRP to detect diseases that cause significant inflammation. It measures CRP within the range of 10 to 1000 mg/L. The high-sensitivity CRP test detects lower levels of CRP than the standard CRP test and thus helps in evaluating an individual’s risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It measures CRP within the range of 0.5 to 10 mg/L.
Q. Who should get tested for hs-CRP?
Checking the CRP level of the entire adult population is not recommended. Adult patients at risk of heart disease or with a family history of heart disease should be advised to have hs-CRP along with other screening tests.
