High Sensitive C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) is a refined measurement of C-reactive protein, an acute-phase protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. CRP is rapidly upregulated during infection, tissue injury, or chronic inflammatory states, and functions in the innate immune system by activating the complement pathway and facilitating clearance of damaged cells and pathogens. Unlike standard CRP assays, hs-CRP can detect very low levels of the protein, making it particularly useful for identifying low-grade systemic inflammation that may not be apparent through conventional clinical assessments.
In research settings, hs-CRP ELISA is used to study the relationship between inflammation and various chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Researchers use it to investigate the inflammatory components of disease progression, to evaluate the effects of interventions aimed at reducing systemic inflammation, and to explore mechanisms linking low-grade inflammation to long-term health outcomes. Its sensitivity allows for the detection of subtle changes in inflammatory status that can be critical for early-stage research studies.
Clinically, hs-CRP is a valuable biomarker for assessing cardiovascular risk, as even modest elevations in hs-CRP levels have been associated with increased risk of heart attack and stroke. It is also used to monitor chronic inflammatory conditions, evaluate response to anti-inflammatory therapies, and support risk stratification in patients with metabolic disorders. By providing a sensitive measure of systemic inflammation, hs-CRP ELISA helps clinicians make informed decisions about preventive strategies and treatment monitoring in at-risk populations.
