CRP Test

What Is CRP and Why Is It Important?

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a marker of inflammation in the body, produced by the liver in response to inflammation. A CRP test can reveal the presence of inflammation, which may indicate a variety of health conditions, from infections to autoimmune diseases and cardiovascular diseases. Monitoring your CRP levels can be an important step in understanding your overall health status.

Home Test for CRP

GetTested offers a simple and convenient way to measure your CRP levels from home. With our Dried Blood Spot test, you easily collect a blood sample at home and send it to our laboratory for analysis. You receive your exact CRP level, indicating whether inflammation is present.

CRP Rapid Test – Quick Results from Home

For those seeking quick answers, we also offer a CRP rapid test. This test provides a negative or positive result based on whether your CRP level is within normal ranges or not. It's an excellent tool for quick monitoring of inflammation levels.

Advanced hs-CRP Analysis

For an even more detailed analysis, we offer an hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) test, also performed through a lab. Hs-CRP is a more sensitive measurement that can detect lower levels of inflammation. This is particularly important for assessing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, where even slightly elevated levels can be significant.

Why Measure CRP?

Measuring CRP can provide valuable information about your health. Elevated levels can indicate infections, chronic inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, or even cardiovascular diseases. By regularly checking your CRP level, you can take early steps toward managing and preventing potential health issues.
