What is hs-CRP?
A sensitive marker of low-grade inflammation. Used for cardiovascular risk assessment.
hs-CRP Reference Range
These are the typical adult reference ranges used by major US labs. Your report will include the specific range used by the lab that processed your sample.
| Population | Range |
|---|---|
| age 18+ | 0.000 – 3.00 mg/L |
Reference ranges are educational. Always interpret your result with the specific range printed on your lab report and discuss anything outside the range with a clinician.
What your hs-CRP result may mean
Above 3 mg/L suggests higher cardiovascular risk; above 10 mg/L often reflects acute infection or inflammation rather than chronic risk.
Educational only — not a diagnosis. Many factors can influence a single result. Discuss anything that concerns you with a healthcare provider.
