Results for tag: "HS CRP"

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HS CRP) is a biomarker used in diagnostics to measure inflammation in the body. It is a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation and is used to detect and monitor conditions such as cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory diseases. HS CRP tests are used to assess the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and to monitor the effectiveness of treatments. HS CRP tests are available in a variety of formats, including point-of-care tests, laboratory tests, and home tests. Point-of-care tests are used to provide rapid results in a clinical setting, while laboratory tests are used to provide more accurate results. Home tests are used to provide convenient testing for patients who are unable to access a clinical setting. Some companies in the HS CRP market include Abbott, Roche, Siemens, and Beckman Coulter.
