When to Get Tested

Test when you have signs of inflammation or infection, or when following a known inflammatory condition over time. For cardiovascular risk assessment, choose the more sensitive hs-CRP instead.

Understanding Your Results

Results post to your secure online account usually in 1–2 business days. A higher CRP points to more inflammation but doesn't identify the cause on its own — it's best interpreted alongside your symptoms and other tests. If your goal is heart-disease risk, the high-sensitivity hs-CRP is the better choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between CRP and hs-CRP?
Standard CRP detects moderate to high inflammation from infection or injury. High-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) measures much lower levels and is used to assess cardiovascular risk.
Do I need to fast?
No fasting is required. You can eat and drink normally before your visit.
Is this billed to insurance?
No — you pay directly here, nothing is billed to insurance, and results go only to your secure account. It stays 100% confidential.
