Methodology

Turbidimetric/Immunoturbidimetric
 

Reported

4 hours

Additional Information

This CRP assay is a high sensitivity method that can be used for assessment of cardiovascular risk as well as for assessment of inflammation associated with other clinical conditions.
 
Tertile CRP mg/L Cardiovascular Risk
1 < 1.0 Low
2 1.0 - 3.0 Moderate
3 > 3.0 High

Patients with persistently unexplained CRP levels above 10 mg/L should be evaluated for noncardiovascular etiologies.
