High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is an acute-phase protein produced by the liver in response to interleukin-6 signalling from adipose tissue, atherosclerotic plaque and other inflammatory sources. The high-sensitivity assay can quantify values below 1 mg/L — the range that matters for chronic disease risk.
