Does anyone's rheumatologist order a CRP HS blood test? I heard of CRP, but not this one. Is it solely for heart disease, or something to do with other diseases too like Lupus?? Mine was high.

The HS just stands for high sensitivity which means it's accurate at low levels as well as high levels. Most CRP tests in the UK are high sensitivity these days.
