Traditional CRP measurement only detected CRP in the range of 10 to 1,000 mg/L, whereas high sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) detects CRP in the range of 0.5 to 10 mg/L. [25] hs-CRP can detect cardiovascular disease risk when in excess of 3 mg/L, whereas below 1 mg/L would be low risk. [26]
The trial focused on patients with normal low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels but increased levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). JUPITER was the first clinical trial to indicate that statin therapy may provide benefit to patients with low-to-normal LDL levels and no known cardiovascular disease.
More recently, additional risk indicators have been identified, e. g. type 2 allostatic load, [11] high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, d-dimer level, [12] renal failure [13] and altered thyroid function.
The women with the highest levels of CRP had a 70% increased associated risk of heart disease, while the participants with the highest levels of LDL cholesterol and lipoprotein(a) had a 36% and 33 ...
A meta-analysis reported a sensitivity of 76% and specificity of 70% for bacteremia. [55] A 2018 systematic review comparing PCT and C-reactive protein (CRP) found PCT to have a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 77% in identifying septic patients. In the study, PCT outperformed CRP in diagnostic accuracy of predicting sepsis. [56]
[89] [90] Ankle-brachial index (ABI), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and coronary artery calcium, are also of unclear benefit in those without symptoms as of 2018. [91] The NIH recommends lipid testing in children beginning at the age of 2 if there is a family history of heart disease or lipid problems. [92]
