The GetTested hs-CRP test analyses high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a protein produced and released by the liver in response to infection (primarily bacterial), inflammation, or trauma, such as surgery.A standard CRP test detects elevated CRP levels associated with infectious diseases or tissue damage. In contrast, a high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) test measures chronic low-grade inflammation, which may be present in otherwise healthy individuals.For a more in-depth look at inflammatory markers, we also offer a DNA Immunity and Inflammation test.
