Values of CRP in an acute inflammation and hs-CRP in the three ranges of risk for CVD were selected and inserted into the table and graph below to depict these concentration differences.
Laboratory Test | Test Result | Interpretation |
CRP | 10.2 mg/L | Acute inflammation |
hs-CRP | 0.5 mg/L | Low risk for cardiac disease |
hs-CRP | 1.5 mg/L | Average risk for cardiac disease |
hs-CRP | 3.5 mg/L | High risk for cardiac disease |
