Detect inflammation and assess cardiovascular risk with our precise CRP test
The General Health Panel Test includes the High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test, a specialized blood test designed to measure the amount of C-reactive Protein in your blood, an indicator of inflammation. This sensitivity C-reactive protein test is particularly valuable for evaluating your risk of heart disease, including conditions such as heart attacks and strokes. The ‘high sensitivity’ aspect of this test allows for detecting even low levels of inflammation, providing a more accurate assessment of your heart health.
In addition to inflammation markers, the Diabetic Panel Blood Test is crucial to your overall health assessment. This test measures key indicators such as blood glucose levels and haemoglobin A1c, providing valuable insights into your risk of diabetes or your current diabetic condition. Regular monitoring through this test helps you take proactive steps to manage your health effectively, reducing the risk of complications like cardiovascular disease.

Test Purpose: The primary purpose of the High Sensitivity CRP Test is to assess the level of inflammation in your body. This information is crucial because chronic inflammation is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Elevated hs CRP levels can indicate the presence of inflammation, which may be due to infections, chronic diseases, or other underlying conditions. By identifying high hs CRP levels, this test helps determine the need for further medical evaluation and intervention.
