A member asked:
Does a high hs crp point to cancer or coronary artery disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: CRP is a marker of inflammation and not used for diagnosis. High levels are associated with higher risk of coronary disease and stroke, however it can be high in setting of infections and inflammatory diseases as well.
