🔼: [[💡 Inflammation]]
# High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)
hs-CRP is a non-specific marker for [[đź’ˇ Inflammation]].
- 1–3 mg/L is in the “yellow zone”, indicating some inflammation
- Studies suggest that people with a CRP greater than 1mg/liter (moderate inflammation) were less likely to benefit from SSRI medications and may benefit from Tricyclic medications or treatments that target inflammation rather than [[đź’ˇ Serotonin (5-HT)]].
- +3 mg/L is in the “red zone”, meaning there is significant (potentially chronic) inflammation
