High-Sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP)
A sensitive indicator of systemic arterial inflammation.
Clinical Relevance
C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is produced by the liver during acute inflammation. High-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) detects low-grade systemic inflammation, a major driver of cardiovascular plaque destabilisation.
Why It Varies
Elevations result from acute physical trauma, training overreach, chronic sleep restriction, gut inflammation, or dental issues.
Longevity & Lifestyle Pointers
- Incorporate anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil, wild salmon).
- Manage physical training recovery cycles to avoid overtraining syndrome.
- Prioritise dental hygiene (flossing daily reduces oral inflammatory burden).
Clinical Governance & Disclaimer
An hs-CRP below 1.0 mg/L is low risk. Spikes above 5.0 mg/L are common during active viral infections and should be re-tested after recovery before making chronic health decisions.
