What is CRP?
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a biomarker used to measure inflammation in the body. It is a protein produced by the liver whose levels rise in response to inflammation.
Why should you have CRP tested?
Testing for CRP can be useful for assessing your risk of cardiovascular diseases. It is often recommended for individuals with risk factors for these conditions, such as smoking, high blood pressure, or a family history of heart disease, to identify early indications of inflammation and potential higher risk of heart problems.
What does it indicate?
A CRP test helps detect inflammation in the body, which may indicate an increased risk of heart diseases or other inflammation-related conditions.
What does a high CRP level mean?
A high level of CRP in the blood indicates increased inflammation in the body, which can be associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction and stroke.
What does a low CRP level mean?
A low level of CRP suggests a low risk of inflammation and therefore a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases. It is an indicator of good heart health.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to what people usually want to know.
How does it work from order to result?
After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.
How quickly can I get tested?
Usually very quickly. Collection points typically have slots within a few days, sometimes even same-day. It depends on how busy the location is. For a few specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.
Do I need to book an appointment?
At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.
