hs-CRP Cognitive Impact

Meaning

hs-CRP Cognitive Impact refers to the clinical relationship between elevated levels of high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP), a systemic inflammatory biomarker, and measurable decrements in cognitive function, including memory, executive function, and processing speed. Hs-CRP, even at low-grade chronic levels, serves as a proxy for persistent systemic inflammation, which is understood to negatively affect neuroendocrine health and neuronal integrity. This link underscores the systemic nature of cognitive decline and the role of inflammation in hormonal aging.
