Commonly used laboratory range — confirm with the lab.Ranges vary by method. Optimal bands can be narrower than standard laboratory reference ranges; this one is widely used, not a target set for you.

C-reactive protein, made by the liver when there is inflammation. The high-sensitivity test picks up the low levels a standard CRP misses.

A laboratory range gives context, not a diagnosis.

Santé explains what a biomarker measures; it does not tell you what to take or do. Your clinician does.

In your account

One value is a snapshot. Three are a direction.
