A single-marker finger-prick test measuring high-sensitivity CRP, commonly used to assess levels of inflammation in the body and, alongside other factors, cardiovascular risk.
1 biomarker as listed by Forth.
This test measures high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a marker commonly used to assess inflammation levels in the body, which can help build a picture of cardiovascular risk or ongoing inflammatory activity alongside other markers and clinical context.
At £41, this test sits exactly at the median price for the five tests in its comparison group. Medichecks' CRP (High Sensitivity) Blood Test and Better2Know's equivalent home test kit are both priced slightly lower at £39, while Thriva's CRP test is £45 and Better2Know's Heart Disease and Inflammation Test, which likely bundles more than a single marker, is considerably higher at £135.
value for money scores in the middle of the range given the test sits at the group median rather than below it. Collection convenience scores at the top of the scale since the test can be done entirely at home. Clinical depth, clarity and documentation, and results and follow-up all score well because the single marker matches the group's typical scope, the details are published upfront, and a doctor reviews the result.
This suits anyone who wants a quick, standalone check of inflammation levels, for example as part of monitoring cardiovascular risk. If price is the deciding factor, Medichecks' and Better2Know's equivalent single-marker CRP tests are both £2 cheaper at £39.
You collect a finger-prick blood sample at home, or choose an AutoDraw device sample, a home nurse visit or a venous draw at a partner clinic. Results are returned within 2 days and reviewed by a doctor before you see your report.
This hs-CRP test costs £41, exactly the median for its five-test comparison group, though Medichecks and Better2Know both offer equivalent tests for £39. Results are back within 2 days and reviewed by a doctor.

A single-marker test measuring exactly what it sets out to; depth is not the point of this comparison group.
A finger-prick sample you take at home; a home nurse visit is offered; results in around 2 days, well ahead of the inflammation norm of 4.
Results are reviewed by a doctor; the provider does not describe the report format.
