Frequently Asked Questions About hs-CRP (High Sensitivity CRP) Test
How is hs-CRP different from checking for infection?
hs-CRP is designed to detect much smaller, chronic elevations related to cardiovascular risk, not the large spikes seen in acute infection — for suspected infection, a standard CRP test is more appropriate.
Should hs-CRP be tested alongside cholesterol?
Many cardiologists recommend it, particularly for people with borderline lipid results, since it adds independent information about cardiovascular risk that cholesterol alone doesn't capture.
Can lifestyle changes lower hs-CRP?
Yes, weight loss, regular exercise, smoking cessation, and a heart-healthy diet have all been shown to meaningfully reduce hs-CRP levels over time.
