Inflammation
hs-CRP (High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein)
hs-CRP is a sensitive marker of low-grade systemic inflammation.
Reference range
Optimization target: <1.0 mg/L. Functional optimization context only — not a diagnostic assertion. Range varies by lab, age, and sex.
Why it matters
Chronic low-grade inflammation underlies most of the conditions longevity medicine seeks to delay. hs-CRP is the cheapest and most interpretable inflammation marker on a longevity panel. Persistently elevated hs-CRP — without an obvious acute cause — is read as a signal to look harder at metabolic health, body composition, sleep, and dental health.
How REVRCEL clinicians read it
A single high value is repeated; persistent elevation drives a deeper workup.

Common questions
What does high hs-CRP mean?
Low-grade systemic inflammation. Causes range from acute infection to chronic metabolic stress.
How is hs-CRP lowered?
Address the upstream driver. Diet, body composition, sleep, and metabolic health are the usual levers.
