Understanding hs-CRP
CRP, or C-reactive protein, originates and releases from the liver when facing infection, inflammation, or trauma like surgery. While regular CRP identifies high levels typically linked to infectious diseases or tissue damage, high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) pinpoints chronic mild inflammation even in healthy people.
Why Analyze hs-CRP?
Recent studies suggest that chronic mild inflammation might increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks and strokes. These conditions often arise from plaque buildup in major blood vessels, a process called atherosclerosis. Contrary to its name, atherosclerosis deals with cholesterol deposition and immune cell accumulation, not calcium. Chronic inflammation, detectable through hs-CRP levels in blood, both initiates and exacerbates this process.
Test Procedure
To conduct this test, you’ll prick your finger and place the blood into a provided tube at home. It’s best to do this in the morning before eating. After sending your sample to our lab (shipping’s on us), you’ll soon receive your digital results once completed.

Before you start, you need to register your test. Your test kit contains a sticker with your unique test ID. Register your test ID at 
Wash your hands in hot water for about a minute. This will increase blood circulation in your fingers. Dry your hands. Doing a blood test without stimulating blood circulation might prove difficult, so please do not skip this step.
Disinfect your “test finger” with the supplied disinfectant paper. Wait a few seconds until the finger is completely dry.
Rotate the protective cover on the blood lancet to remove it. Use the extra lancet if you need to do another finger prick.
Place your hand on a flat surface. Put the lancet diagonally toward the test finger and press down the button. Make sure the lancet is pressed against the finger the whole time.
We recommend that you stand up at this stage to let the blood in your arm flow downward. Help the blood drops come out by massaging the finger toward the needle stick.
Transfer the blood drops into the test tube until the blood reaches the marked line. If it doesn’t reach the marked line, there won’t be enough blood for the lab to test. Please contact us if you have any trouble.
Place the sticker with your unique test ID on the test tube. Place the test tube inside the transport tube and seal.
Put the tubes in the enclosed envelope and send it to the lab the same day, preferably a Monday or Tuesday.

I’ve always been a proactive individual when it comes to my health. Thus, when my doctor mentioned the potential risks associated with elevated CRP levels, I became eager to understand my body’s position. The HS-CRP Test from GetTested appeared to be the precise tool I needed. From the outset, it was evident that GetTested prioritizes discretion. The kit arrived in a nondescript package, ensuring my privacy. The provided instructions were a beacon of clarity, detailing each step to ensure an error-free process. The simplicity was particularly assuring; it catered to users like myself, who may not have any medical expertise. The real marvel, however, was the depth of the results. I expected a rudimentary outline, but GetTested exceeded expectations. Not only did they provide precise CRP levels, but they also contextualized the findings, offering insight into potential health implications. Additionally, the aftercare was impeccable. Their team was both empathetic and knowledgeable, patiently addressing my queries and providing actionable advice on managing and understanding my CRP levels. In a sea of health tests and gadgets, the HS-CRP Test stands out. It’s a fusion of meticulous science, user-centric design, and genuine care for one’s well-being.

In today’s age, health awareness is paramount. Yet, many of us remain in the dark about crucial indicators, one of which is the CRP level. This lack of awareness led me to the HS-CRP Test by GetTested. 🙂 The discreet packaging immediately allayed any apprehensions I had regarding privacy. I was equally pleased with the detailed instructions, ensuring that even a novice could administer the test with ease. 🙂 🙂 What truly astounded me was the depth of the subsequent analysis. GetTested doesn’t merely offer numbers; they provide a narrative, painting a clear picture of one’s health and potential risks associated with CRP levels. Their post-test support, too, was noteworthy. The experts were both professional and kind, offering guidance and fielding any concerns with utmost patience. The HS-CRP Test, in my opinion, is a monumental stride in democratizing health knowledge. It’s thorough, insightful, and essential for those committed to holistic well-being. 😀
