hs-CRP: units, conversion and tracking
Updated
Short answer
hs-CRP is reported in mg/L and mg/dL. 1 mg/dL = 10 mg/L.

What is hs-CRP?
C-reactive protein is made by the liver and rises with inflammation; the high-sensitivity assay measures small amounts.
BiomarkerHQ groups hs-CRP under Inflammation. On lab reports it can also appear as hscrp, crp, c-reactive protein, crp high sensitivity, high sensitivity crp and high sensitivity c-reactive protein.
hs-CRP units and conversion
BiomarkerHQ stores each hs-CRP result in the unit printed on the report, and charts and compares results in mg/L.
1 mg/dL = 10 mg/L
1 mg/L = 0.1 mg/dL
| mg/dL | mg/L |
|---|---|
| 0.1 mg/dL | 1 mg/L |
| 0.2 mg/dL | 2 mg/L |
| 0.3 mg/dL | 3 mg/L |
| 0.5 mg/dL | 5 mg/L |
| 1 mg/dL | 10 mg/L |
| 2 mg/dL | 20 mg/L |
| 5 mg/dL | 50 mg/L |
| mg/L | mg/dL |
|---|---|
| 1 mg/L | 0.1 mg/dL |
| 2 mg/L | 0.2 mg/dL |
| 3 mg/L | 0.3 mg/dL |
| 5 mg/L | 0.5 mg/dL |
| 10 mg/L | 1 mg/dL |
| 20 mg/L | 2 mg/dL |
| 50 mg/L | 5 mg/dL |

Before comparing hs-CRP results
Tracking hs-CRP over time
In BiomarkerHQ, each hs-CRP result is saved with its collection date, its unit and the reference range printed on that report. The timeline charts the results across your draws against the range from each of your own reports, and any two draws can be compared side by side.
- Keep the unit printed on each report. Convert only to compare.
- Keep each report's own range with its result. See why ranges differ between labs.
- Compare the same lab and conditions where you can. See how to compare two blood tests.
Frequently asked questions
Which units do labs report hs-CRP in?
hs-CRP is reported in mg/L and mg/dL. BiomarkerHQ stores each result in the unit printed on the report and uses mg/L for charts and comparisons.
How do I convert hs-CRP from mg/dL to mg/L?
1 mg/dL = 10 mg/L. For example, 0.5 mg/dL is 5 mg/L.
How do I convert hs-CRP from mg/L to mg/dL?
1 mg/L = 0.1 mg/dL. For example, 5 mg/L is 0.5 mg/dL.
What should I check before comparing hs-CRP results?
Plain CRP and high-sensitivity CRP are matched to this marker; check which assay your lab used.
Does BiomarkerHQ interpret my hs-CRP result?
No. It compares a result only with the reference range printed on your own lab report, as below, within or above, and does not say what the result means. Talk to a qualified clinician about your results.
