High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) may be an early indicator of atherosclerosis when inflammation is the dominant pathway.

“the first and the one with the most evidence is the C reactive protein test – the oldtime markers of inflammation he says can we analyze C reactive protein at here to for trivial not even looked at levels so they started looking at extremely low C reactive protein levels and lo and behold he showed it's beyond debate now that yes they call the test High sensitivity but it's actually the same damn aate it checks for CRP if you have rheumatoid arthritis but the high sensitivity has a different reference range that they relate to atherosclerosis”
