High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Blood Spot - ZRT Test Kit

What is the purpose of this test?

The ZRT Lab's High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) Blood Spot test measures the C-reactive protein level in your blood. C-reactive protein is a substance produced by the liver in response to inflammation in the body. Using a small blood sample collected from a finger prick, this test can detect even low levels of CRP, which helps identify low-grade inflammation that might not cause noticeable symptoms.

This test is important because inflammation can be an early sign of various health issues, such as heart disease, diabetes, or infections. By measuring hs-CRP, doctors can assess your risk for these conditions and monitor any ongoing inflammation. The results can guide your doctor in recommending lifestyle changes, treatments, or further tests to help prevent or manage potential health problems.
