*hs-CRP - Information from Optimal DX

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a test that can detect lower levels of CRP, a protein produced in response to inflammation, more accurately than traditional assays. Elevated levels of hs-CRP are associated with systemic inflammation and various health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and diabetes. Low levels, conversely, suggest the absence of systemic inflammation. However, hs-CRP levels can fluctuate, and as such, for accurate cardiovascular risk assessment, two serial measurements taken at least 2 weeks apart are recommended. In addition to indicating cardiovascular risk, hs-CRP can also help in diagnosing treatment-resistant depression, assessing the severity of atherosclerosis, and determining the cause of low albumin in end-stage renal disease patients.

• Standard Range:  
  0.00 - 1.0 mg/L (0.00 - 9.52 nmol/L)

• The ODX Range: 
  Male: 0.00 - 0.55 mg/L (0.00 - 5.24 nmol/L)       
  Female: 0.00 - 1.00 mg/L (0.00 - 9.52 nmol/L)

**Fasting Insulin - Information from Optimal DX

Insulin is a pancreatic hormone that helps regulate blood glucose levels by promoting glucose absorption into cells, among other functions. Elevated fasting insulin levels are associated with hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Measuring fasting insulin, along with fasting glucose, can help identify insulin resistance and predict type 2 diabetes risk. However, it is important to also assess C-peptide levels when evaluating insulin status, as serum insulin levels may not fully reflect pancreatic production.

• Standard Range: 2 – 18.4 uIU/mL (13.89 - 127.78 pmol/L)

• The ODX Range: 2 - 5 uIU/mL (13.89 - 34.72 pmol/L)
