CRP vs hsCRP

[JK1]

I'm sure the answer is that hs CRP is better for the obvious reasons.

For now I just have the chance to add on CRP.

Better than nothing but keen to hear others opinions.

Clearly it can give a signal but not to the same extent as hs.

Anyone use just regular CRP regularly?

CRP is only good for monitoring serious inflammation from active infections, arthritis, autoimmune disorders etc.

HSCRP is used to monitor cardiovascular health and risk (but also captures the very high inflammation from the causes above). Much more of a long term health marker.

as far as i know the diffrerence is very simple

high sensitive crp can detect crp under 3mg

and normal crp cant detect crp under 3mg

so theres guys on the edge flexing their 0.16 hscrp number and other guys stresing their crp is 3mg and they cant get it lower.

if it werent for two shitters in that telegram group i would have never looked it up.
