What is the difference between CRP and CRP high sensitivity?

Defining hs-CRP To illustrate the difference between CRP and hs-CRP, traditional testing measures CRP within the range of 10 to 1,000 mg/L, whereas hs-CRP values range from 0.5 to 10 mg/L. In simpler terms, hs-CRP measures trace amounts of CRP in the blood.

Why is my HS-CRP so high?

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein is produced by the body when blood-vessel walls are inflamed. The higher your levels of hs-CRP, the higher your levels of inflammation tend to be.

When should I buy high sensitivity CRP?

Your doctor might order a CRP test to: Check for inflammation due to an infection. Help diagnose a chronic inflammatory disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. Determine your risk of heart disease.

What does Army CRP do with SBIR money?

Army CRP uses an investment fund of SBIR money to enhance or expand on-going SBIR efforts with a focus on additional research, development, testing and evaluation.

How is SBIR used in the Air Force?

Another tool used by the Air Force SBIR/STTR process is the Commercialization Readiness Program or CRP that provides a strategically driven approach to directly link Air Force centers to AFRL technical points of contact (TPOCs).

How is high-sensitivity C reactive protein ( CRP ) measured?

Traditionally, CRP, or C-reactive protein, is measured down to concentrations of 3 to 5 mg/L; hs-CRP is measured down to concentrations of approximately 0.3 mg/L. This improved sensitivity allows hs-CRP to be used to detect low levels of chronic inflammation. Other markers of chronic inflammation

Is it good to have high hs-CRP levels?

The higher your levels of hs-CRP, the higher your levels of inflammation tend to be. But before we go any further, it’s important to distinguish between acute inflammation and chronic inflammation. Inflammation can be a very good thing.
