High Sensitivity C-reactive Protein (hs-crp) is a laboratory test that measures a result in a Blood (Serum) sample. It may be ordered to investigate symptoms, support a diagnosis or monitor a condition, depending on your clinician's advice.
The current booking price is shown at Rs. 669 against an MRP of Rs. 785, inclusive of taxes where applicable.
No fasting is required for this test alone. If another test in the same order requires fasting, follow its preparation instructions. Home sample collection is available in serviceable cities. A trained phlebotomist collects the sample using sterile equipment, and the report is shared online after processing.
Relevant details from a Thyrocare sample report are shown below. A standalone PDF preview for High Sensitivity C-reactive Protein (hs-crp) is not available here. Reference intervals may vary by method and patient factors. Use the interval printed on your own final report.

| Reason | Description |
|---|---|
| Heart-risk support | Measures very low CRP levels linked with inflammation. |
| Risk refinement | Used along with cholesterol, BP, diabetes and smoking status. |
| Not diagnostic alone | Does not identify the cause of inflammation. |

| Risk context | Family heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, high BP, smoking. |
| Inflammation context | Recent infection or injury can raise hs-CRP. |
| Follow-up users | People doing preventive cardiovascular screening. |
| Topic | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Fasting | No fasting is required for this test alone. If another test in the same order requires fasting, follow its preparation instructions. |
| Delay if ill | Recent fever or infection can distort the value. |
| Interpretation | Use with a full cardiovascular-risk review. |
