An at-home finger-prick test measuring high-sensitivity CRP, a marker commonly used to assess inflammation in the body. Suited to a quick standalone inflammation check.
1 biomarker as listed by YorkTest.
The Inflammation (CRP) Test measures high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a marker commonly used to assess levels of inflammation in the body and considered a risk marker for conditions including heart disease, stroke and chronic illness.
Within its hs-CRP comparison group, its £41 price matches the group median exactly. It costs the same as Forth's CRP Home Blood Test Kit, £2 more than Medichecks' and Better2Know's cheapest single-marker CRP tests at £39, and considerably less than Better2Know's Heart Disease and Inflammation Test at £135, which bundles CRP with other markers.
As a single-marker test, its Clinical depth score reflects that depth isn't really the point of this comparison group; most peers also test one marker. It scores well for Collection convenience, partly because its stated 5-day turnaround is quicker than the 7 days quoted for most other YorkTest tests, and for Trust signals on the strength of YorkTest's Trustpilot rating of 4.8 from 3,257 reviews, its UKAS-accredited lab, and 44 years of trading. It scores lower for Results and follow-up because results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
This suits people who want a quick, focused check on inflammation markers without paying for a wider panel, and who want results faster than YorkTest's usual 7-day turnaround. If price is the only concern, Medichecks' or Better2Know's £39 CRP tests are £2 cheaper. It is not the right choice if you want CRP measured alongside other heart-related markers in one panel, or if you want a doctor to review your results as standard.
You take an at-home finger-prick blood sample; no clinic visit is needed. The sample is returned to YorkTest's laboratory for hs-CRP analysis, and results are provided as traffic-light values within a stated 5 days, quicker than most other YorkTest tests. Doctor review is not included as standard.
At £41, the Inflammation (CRP) Test exactly matches the median price across its comparison group. It measures high-sensitivity CRP, priced the same as Forth's equivalent test but £2 more than Medichecks' and Better2Know's cheapest CRP tests. Turnaround is a stated 5 days, faster than most other YorkTest tests, and results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
