FAQs
What does this test measure?
It measures your lipid profile (including HDL, LDL, and triglycerides) as well as hs-CRP, which helps detect low-grade inflammation linked to heart disease.
Why is hs-CRP important?
High sensitivity CRP can signal underlying inflammation — a contributing factor to atherosclerosis and increased cardiovascular risk, even in people with normal cholesterol levels.
Who should consider this test?
Anyone over 40, those with a family history of heart disease, smokers, people with diabetes, or anyone wanting to understand their heart health better.
How is the sample collected?
You can collect your sample at home using the finger-prick kit, or opt for a professional blood draw in our Neath clinic (extra cost applies).
When will I get my results?
Results are typically available within 1–2 working days after your sample is received by the lab.
