A CRP test is a blood test designed to measure the amount of CRP in the blood. A CRP test only needs a blood sample. Your doctor can administer a CRP test along with a cholesterol screening or other routine blood work.
The hs-CRP test accurately measures low levels of C-reactive protein to identify low but persistent levels of inflammation and thus helps predict a person's risk of developing CVD. High-sensitivity CRP is thought by some experts to be a useful test for determining risk of CVD, heart attacks, and strokes and that hs-CRP can play a role in the evaluation process before a person develops one of these health problems.
