What is a High Sensitivity CRP Test in Akola?
The High Sensitivity CRP Test in Akola is a highly precise blood test that measures minute levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) in your bloodstream. CRP is a protein made by your liver when your body experiences inflammation. Unlike the standard CRP test that identifies severe infections or inflammation, the hs-CRP test helps detect low levels of chronic inflammation, which can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and metabolic disorders.
Doctors in Akola recommend this test to assess heart health, monitor treatment effectiveness, and evaluate inflammation levels in people with chronic diseases.
