Where High-Sensitivity CRP is reported
| Condition | Direction | Compared against | Associated symptoms | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hypertension | ↑ elevated | hypertensive participants without Apparent Treatment-Resistant Hypertension | Apparent treatment-resistant hypertension in patients with chronic kidney disease | Chen et al. 2019 |
| Migraine | ↕ inconsistent | non-migraineurs | migraine without aura (MO) in women aged 19-34 years had borderline higher CRP; women aged 60-81 years with MO had significantly lower CRP | Gudmundsson et al. 2009 |
Frequently asked questions
In which conditions is High-Sensitivity CRP altered?
In the OSMF atlas High-Sensitivity CRP is reported in Hypertension, Migraine. It is elevated in 1, mixed in 1 across 2 entries.
Does High-Sensitivity CRP point to one specific diagnosis?
No. Because High-Sensitivity CRP changes in several conditions (Hypertension, Migraine), an abnormal result cannot identify which condition, if any, is present. It must be interpreted with symptoms, history and other tests.
Is there a standard clinical test for High-Sensitivity CRP?
The atlas entries for High-Sensitivity CRP do not carry a LOINC code, which usually means the marker was measured with research assays or study-specific methods rather than a routine clinical panel.
Is one abnormal High-Sensitivity CRP result diagnostic?
No single biomarker result is diagnostic of any of these conditions. Findings reflect group averages from published cohorts with substantial overlap between patients and controls.
