Cardiovascular Risk (hs-CRP) Home Test Kit
Assess your risk from heart disease or indicate exercise over-training
You can do most things right and still feel uncertain about your longer-term heart risk, especially if you have a family history, carry extra weight, smoke or used to, drink regularly, or live a more sedentary life. When you feel well, it is hard to know what is happening under the surface.
This test measures high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a clinical marker of low-grade inflammation. In apparently healthy people, hs-CRP is associated with cardiovascular risk and can add useful context alongside other risk factors.
Your result gives you a clear baseline you can track over time, helping you have a more informed conversation about prevention and next steps. If you want a simple, evidence-based check on inflammation linked to cardiovascular risk, this test is a practical place to start.

What the Cardiovascular Risk (hs-CRP) test is for
Testing for low levels of inflammation in your body using hs-CRP, a highly regarded clinical marker for:
Indicating your risk from cardiovascular diseases including stroke, heart attack and death in apparently healthy individuals.
It is well established that level of inflammation is linked to cardiovascular diseases. For example, in inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, the risk of developing cardiovascular disease is higher than the general public. hs-CRP is a sensitive marker of inflammation and is therefore useful in understanding risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
It is also useful to monitor this situation - cardiovascular disease from inflammation develops over the long term. Therefore, if you have previously had this test and had a result showing high levels of inflammation, you can repeat it several weeks/months later to ensure resolution of inflammation.

How this works ›Why take the Cardiovascular Risk (hs-CRP) test?
This test is for people who feel well but want a clearer view of cardiovascular risk linked to low-grade inflammation, especially if you carry extra weight, smoke or used to, exercise very little, or drink alcohol regularly.
It is also suited to you if you have diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance, an underactive thyroid, kidney disease, polycystic ovary syndrome, or a family history of heart disease including close relatives who have had a heart attack, stroke, or heart bypass surgery.
You would take it to establish a baseline of hs-CRP and use it alongside your other risk factors to guide prevention and track changes over time.
- Are overweight or obese (have a high BMI)
- Are, or have been, a smoker
- Don't do much exercise or lead a sedentary lifestyle
- Drink alcohol regularly or are a binge drinker
- Have an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism)
- Have diabetes, or impaired glucose tolerance
- Have family history of heart disease
- Have immediate family who have had a heart attack, stroke or heart bypass surgery
- Have kidney disease
- Have polycystic ovary syndrome

C-reactive Protein normally increases in the blood following inflammation and infection.
However chronic low levels of inflammation are linked to a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease (heart disease) and complications such as heart attack and strokes.
A very high sensitivity (hs-CRP) test is used to ensure that these low levels of inflammation are detected.
