All you need to know about testing C-reactive Protein levels with a laboratory test
29.7% of people tested have C-reactive Protein levels which are too high.
And 1.8% have levels that are too low.
The average C-reactive Protein result is 5.0 mg/L
Note what is normal for you may differ for your age and sex.
C-reactive Protein (CRP) is a non-specific marker that can indicate the presence of infection and inflammation. It is protein that is part of the innate immune response.
The high sensitivity test can also be used to assess cardiovascular disease risk, as cardiovascular disease is associated with chronic inflammation and CRP levels can be used to track inflammation.
By buying a laboratory test kit with professional nurse or clinic collection, you can accurately measure C-reactive Protein for total reassurance.
Professional analysis in an accredited laboratory ensures rapid result delivery.
The Vitall Inflammation (CRP) nurse or clinic test kit includes a C-reactive Protein test and is available for just £59.00.
Tests which include a C-reactive Protein test:
An elevated CRP can suggest an acute infection or inflammation. CRP is a non-specific marker, meaning it can rise in many inflammatory conditions, and this test alone cannot identify where the inflammation is coming from or what condition is causing it.
Inflammation can also occur without infection, and CRP cannot distinguish between inflammation caused by infection and inflammation from other causes. After recovery from an infection, CRP can remain raised for a short time because levels may take a little while to fall.
If CRP stays persistently raised, it may indicate an underlying process causing chronic inflammation, which is associated with a number of problems, including an increased risk of heart attacks. Significantly high readings are generally treated as clinically significant and are often reviewed further to clarify the cause, particularly when ongoing.
Low C-reactive protein (CRP) is generally considered more favourable than a high level, because it indicates less inflammation in the body.
A low CRP level on its own is not usually linked with a specific problem.
Measure your C-reactive Protein levels and identify the presence of inflammation & its severity with a Inflammation (CRP) nurse or clinic finger-prick bloodtest kit
You get the convenient testing with the reassurance of professional clinical analysis. Your results are delivered quickly & securely online.
This Inflammation (CRP) Test is advised if you:
High levels of CRP may indicate the presence of inflammation in your body due to a variety of conditions. However, interpretation of results should be done in context with your symptoms. The disease causing the inflammation may not be known just from the test results.
All Testing Is Conducted In UKAS Accredited Laboratories.
