CRP vs hs-CRP
Standard CRP detects acute, large-magnitude inflammation. hs-CRP detects the low-grade chronic inflammation that drives cardiovascular and metabolic disease. For optimization, hs-CRP is the relevant marker.
Standard CRP is decisive when acute infection or illness is suspected.
hs-CRP is the optimization marker — read longitudinally for cardiovascular and metabolic trend.
Educational. Final pathway selection is provider-reviewed via synchronous video consultation against your biomarkers, history, and goals.
Frequently asked
Are they the same test with different sensitivity?
Yes — hs-CRP uses a more sensitive assay to detect lower concentrations.
What raises hs-CRP transiently?
Recent infection or injury can transiently raise hs-CRP — provider review interprets context.
Take the optimization assessment.
The adaptive assessment maps your symptoms, history, and goals to candidate pathways — and routes you into provider review.
