About CRP
CRP (C-Reactive Protein) is a protein produced by the liver within hours of any injury, infection, or inflammatory trigger anywhere in the body. The high-sensitivity version (hsCRP) detects the low-grade, chronic inflammation that silently drives atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, and neurodegeneration — at levels too subtle for the standard CRP test to catch. Persistently elevated hsCRP, even at low absolute values, is one of the strongest independent predictors of a first heart attack.
