High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a sensitive marker used to detect low-grade systemic inflammation in the body. Produced by the liver in response to inflammatory cytokines, hs-CRP provides valuable insight into both acute and chronic inflammatory states. Hs-CRP is widely used not only to assess cardiovascular risk, but also to monitor metabolic health, gut integrity, and the impact of lifestyle stressors.
