The diagnosis of HSP is a result of several factors, including the presence of typical symptoms, a physical examination demonstrating findings such as skin lesions and arthritis, laboratory tests such as urinalysis that shows microscopic blood in the urine and stool that shows microscopic blood.
The standard CRP test measures markedly high levels of the protein to detect diseases that cause significant inflammation. It measures CRP in the range from 10 to 1000 mg/L. The hs-CRP test accurately detects lower levels of the protein than the standard CRP test and is used to evaluate individuals for risk of CVD. It measures CRP in the range from 0.5 to 10 mg/L. It is now believed that a persistent low level of inflammation plays a major role in atherosclerosis, the narrowing of blood vessels due to build-up of cholesterol and other lipids, which is often associated with CVD.
