[QUOTE="Sapien, post: 2076951, member: 507939"] The standard CRP measured from 10 to 1000 mg/L and is used to detect inflammation. (a bit cheaper than hs-CRP) Those are measurement used in the US. The hs-CRP (high sensitivity) measures from 0.2 to 10 mg/L and is used to evaluate CV risk. Low risk is less than 1.0 mg/L. Average risk 1.0 to 3.0 and high risk above 3.0. I have had the test three times. Once it came back 0.2. A different doc ordered it later and it came back 32.5! The doc said “not possible” and re-ordered the test two days later which came back <0.2. (Either I am in really good shape or really bad shape). hs-CRP was covered by insurance, whereas the CAC (calcium score) was not covered. (Luckily my calcium score was zero.) [/QUOTE]
