About this test

How can a CRP blood test help you?

This high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test can tell you if you're suffering from low-grade inflammation - a risk factor for heart disease. A raised CRP level is also linked to a number of other health problems, like diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and some cancers.
