❤️ <1.0 low, 1-3 average, >3 high risk
✓ Minimal systemic inflammation
🎯 Achievable on clean anti-inflammatory diet
Marker of systemic inflammation and independent cardiovascular risk factor. Often improves dramatically with metabolic interventions.
hsCRP can spike dramatically during acute infections, injuries, or stress. If your result is unexpectedly high (>10 mg/L), retest in 2-3 weeks to rule out acute causes.
hsCRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) is the gold standard marker of systemic inflammation and an independent cardiovascular risk factor.
Chronic low-grade inflammation drives insulin resistance, atherosclerosis, and numerous chronic diseases.
hsCRP often improves dramatically with lifestyle changes: low-carb diet, regular exercise, quality sleep, and stress management.
According to the American Heart Association (AHA):
This evaluator is for educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult a healthcare provider for persistently elevated hsCRP to identify the source of inflammation.
