In Plain English

Measures very low levels of CRP — a protein released during inflammation. At high sensitivity, it detects the chronic low-grade inflammation that silently damages arteries years before a heart attack.

What This Test Detects

  • Silent cardiac inflammation
  • Independent heart attack risk
  • Metabolic syndrome
  • Effectiveness of statin therapy

Method, Preparation, Timing

With the Honest Explanation

Reference ranges vary between laboratories. This is not a quality issue — it is because each lab calibrates its instruments and methods using different populations, reagents, and equipment. A result of 5.5 at one lab may show as slightly different at another. What matters is: (1) always using the same lab for serial monitoring, (2) understanding your trend over time, not just one reading. Gini's ranges are calibrated on our specific instruments and validated monthly against international reference samples. Read the full explanation →

Result Range Clinical Meaning
Low cardiac riskBelow 1.0 mg/LLow inflammation-driven cardiac risk
Average risk1.0–3.0 mg/LModerate risk — lifestyle intervention
High riskAbove 3.0 mg/LHigh cardiovascular inflammation — doubles heart attack risk

What Your Result Means

If Your Result Is High

Chronic arterial inflammation — significantly increases heart attack risk independently of cholesterol levels. Many patients with normal LDL but high hsCRP have elevated cardiac risk that statins can address.

If Your Result Is Low

Low inflammatory cardiovascular risk.

More Than a Lab — A Hospital Lab

Gini's hsCRP (High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein) costs ₹700. Budget standalone labs charge less. The difference is not just equipment — it is what happens when your result is abnormal.

At a standalone lab, you get a report. At Gini, if your hsCRP is significantly abnormal, our team flags it to Dr. Anil Bhansali's office. You are not alone with a concerning number.

This is what a hospital lab means vs a standalone diagnostic centre. More on Gini's lab quality →
