Inflammation
hs-CRP on TRT
What the number means, why it moves on a protocol, and what people usually do about it.
What it is
High-sensitivity CRP is the general inflammation marker. It rises with infection, injury, body fat, poor sleep and hard training, and it adds to cardiovascular risk when it stays up.
The range
TRT-aware target
under 1 mg/L
How to read the lab range
Under 1 mg/L is low risk, 1 to 3 average, above 3 high. Above 10 is usually an infection or injury, not a lifestyle number.
Why it moves on a protocol
- Hard training in the days before the draw.
- An infection, an injury, poor sleep, extra body fat.
- Gum disease and smoking.
What people usually do · not a recommendation
- Retest after a few easy days.
- Omega-3, curcumin and better sleep are the usual levers for a stubborn one.
How Magno reads it
Import the PDF or a photo of the report and Magno finds hs-CRP on it, keeps every test on one line, shows the change since the last one, and reads it against TRT-aware thresholds rather than the lab's generic range. The panel it belongs to, Inflammation, gets a written verdict with the probable causes and what people usually do.

Questions people ask
CRP 4 after a hard week of training?
Expected. Rest three days and retest; a lifestyle CRP is a trough number, not a post-workout one.
