C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test – At-Home Inflammation and Health Check

Fast, Accurate, and Private CRP Testing at Home

The C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Blood Test from Repose Healthcare provides a quick and reliable way to measure inflammation levels in your body. CRP is a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation or infection. Elevated CRP levels can be a sign of an acute infection, autoimmune condition, chronic disease, or cardiovascular risk.

With our simple at-home blood test kit, you can check your CRP levels without the need for a GP appointment or hospital visit.


What is C-Reactive Protein (CRP)?

C-Reactive Protein is part of the body’s immune response. When the body detects tissue damage, infection, or inflammation, the liver releases CRP into the bloodstream. Measuring CRP levels helps identify whether inflammation is present and can guide further medical investigation.

High CRP levels do not indicate the exact cause of inflammation, but they provide an important clue for doctors in assessing overall health and potential disease.


Why Take a CRP Test?

A CRP test is recommended if you are experiencing unexplained symptoms such as:

  • Persistent fever

  • Fatigue and low energy

  • Unexplained aches or joint pain

  • Swelling or redness in the body

  • Shortness of breath

  • General feeling of being unwell

Your doctor may also request CRP testing to monitor ongoing conditions or to check whether a treatment is working.


Conditions Linked to Abnormal CRP Levels

High CRP levels may be associated with:

  • Acute infections (bacterial or viral)

  • Autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus

  • Chronic inflammatory diseases like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis

  • Cardiovascular disease risk (long-term raised CRP may suggest higher heart disease risk)

  • Injury or trauma causing tissue inflammation

  • Certain cancers

Low or normal CRP levels usually suggest:

  • No significant inflammation in the body

  • Stable or well-managed chronic conditions


How the CRP Test Works

  1. Order your kit online – discreetly packaged and delivered across the UK.

  2. Collect a small blood sample – using the easy finger-prick kit provided.

  3. Send your sample to our laboratory – using the prepaid return envelope.

  4. Receive your results online – usually within 2–5 working days.

All tests are processed in accredited UK laboratories, ensuring reliability and clinical accuracy.


Understanding Your Results

Your results will show your CRP level in mg/L and indicate whether they fall within the normal reference range.

  • Normal CRP levels – suggest little to no inflammation.

  • Moderately raised CRP levels – may suggest mild infection or chronic inflammation.

  • Significantly raised CRP levels – could indicate acute bacterial infection, severe inflammation, or another underlying condition.

CRP results are often used alongside other tests to provide a clearer picture of your health.


Benefits of an At-Home CRP Test

  • Convenient – no clinic visits required

  • Accurate – processed in trusted UK laboratories

  • Fast results – typically within 2–5 working days

  • Private and discreet – secure delivery and results reporting

  • Peace of mind – early detection of inflammation and health concerns


Who Should Consider the CRP Blood Test?

This test may be suitable if you:

  • Have unexplained symptoms such as fever, fatigue, or joint pain

  • Are being monitored for autoimmune or chronic inflammatory conditions

  • Want to assess inflammation levels linked to heart disease risk

  • Have been advised by a doctor to check for infection or inflammation

  • Are seeking a general health check to rule out hidden problems


CRP and Cardiovascular Health

In recent years, CRP testing has also been linked to cardiovascular health monitoring. Persistently elevated CRP levels may indicate an increased risk of atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries), which is associated with heart disease and stroke.

While CRP testing alone cannot predict heart disease, it may provide valuable information when considered alongside cholesterol and other heart health markers.
