A single high-sensitivity CRP blood test that checks for low-grade inflammation, a marker commonly used to assess cardiovascular and general inflammatory risk.
1 biomarker as listed by Thriva.
This test measures high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker commonly used to assess low-grade, ongoing inflammation in the body. Raised CRP is associated with cardiovascular risk factors and with conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, though a result on its own does not diagnose any of these.
Within the hs-CRP comparison group, this sits close to the middle of the pack. At £45.00 it is about 10% above the £41 group median, with Medichecks and Better2Know both offering an equivalent single hs-CRP test for £39. All the tests in this group measure the same single marker, so the differences are mostly about price and provider rather than depth.
The scores here mostly reflect provider factors rather than the test itself: full marks for collection convenience, since you can test at home or add a nurse visit with results in around two days, and for trust signals, based on Thriva's Trustpilot rating, lab accreditation, CQC registration and doctor review as standard. Clinical depth scores reasonably because a single-marker test is judged on measuring what it sets out to, not on breadth.
This suits you if you want a quick, focused check on inflammation, for example alongside lifestyle changes or as part of monitoring cardiovascular risk factors, without paying for a wider panel you do not need.
If price is your main concern, Medichecks and Better2Know both offer an equivalent single hs-CRP test for £39, £6 less than Thriva's version. Otherwise this is a straightforward choice if you already use Thriva or want the finger-prick or nurse-visit collection options.
This is a blood test measuring a single marker, CRP. You can collect a sample yourself at home with a finger-prick kit, or pay an extra £60 for a nurse to take a venous sample. Results are typically ready within 2 days, and a doctor reviews them before your report is sent to you.
This is a single hs-CRP blood test that checks for low-grade inflammation linked to heart disease and other conditions. At £45.00 it costs a little more than the £41 median for comparable hs-CRP tests from Medichecks, Better2Know, YorkTest and Forth, some of which are available from £39. The main caveat is that it only measures one marker, so it will not tell you why inflammation might be raised.
