What hs-CRP measures

High-sensitivity CRP measures low levels of inflammation and is commonly discussed in the context of cardiovascular risk.

If your hs-CRP is low

Low hs-CRP is the expected state.

Worth asking your clinician: Nothing specific.

If your hs-CRP is high

hs-CRP above the range reflects low-grade inflammation; values between 1 and 3 mg/L are commonly labelled average and above 3 mg/L higher cardiovascular risk, but any recent infection or injury raises it.

Worth asking your clinician: Whether a repeat when well is useful and how it fits with lipid results.

Typical adult values used by many US labs. Your own report prints the range your lab validated for its method, and that range is the one that counts. Labwise always uses the printed range first.
