You can eat well, stay active, and still feel unclear about your heart risk. Cholesterol can look acceptable on a single result, then drift over time, or tell an incomplete story when you only see a total number. This home blood test is designed to give a fuller, evidence-led view by looking at your lipid profile alongside high sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP), a marker of low-grade inflammation linked with cardiovascular disease.

Using a home test kit for testing from home, you will measure key blood fats that influence cardiovascular risk, including LDL (often called ‘bad’ cholesterol), HDL (‘good’ cholesterol), triglycerides, non-HDL cholesterol and total cholesterol. These markers help you understand how cholesterol is being carried in the blood, not just how much is present. That context can be useful if you have a family history of heart disease, have diabetes or an underactive thyroid, are carrying excess weight, smoke or used to smoke, drink alcohol regularly, or have a more sedentary lifestyle.

The panel also measures hs-CRP, which can indicate low-grade inflammation associated with atherosclerosis, the gradual build-up of plaque in the arteries. Inflammation does not replace cholesterol as a risk factor, but it can add important context, particularly when lipid results do not match how you feel or the changes you have made to diet and activity.

Results from this home blood test can help you identify what is most likely driving your numbers and where to focus next, whether that is lifestyle changes, a discussion with your GP, or repeating testing to see how your profile shifts over time.
