Man Doing Blood Test

Inflammation (PRC) Test

WHY TAKE THE TEST?

This test helps will help you understand whether inflammation may be impacting on your health and what simple steps you can take to reduce it.

 

When you think of inflammation you often think of something you can see like an insect bite, cut or allergic reaction. There might be pain, redness, swelling or itching and you may feel unwell. There is also inflammation that you can’t see which may have been going on for a while. This sort of longer term or chronic inflammation is often “silent” and can cause damage and deterioration that you may not be aware of. This type of inflammation can impact the whole body and could indicate an underlying health condition or an infection. It also has the potential to damage the heart, arteries and blood vessels even if your cholesterol and triglycerides levels are normal.

 

WHAT CAN THE TEST HELP YOU WITH?

This test acts as a risk marker for heart disease, stroke, chronic conditions and infections by testing for high sensitivity CRP.

 

HOW DOES THE TEST WORK AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

The inflammation test is a simple finger prick blood test that is sent away to the laboratory to test for high sensitivity CPR, the most important marker for inflammation.

 

WHAT DO THE RESULTS SHOW?

The results are highlighted on a visual scale showing whether the test results are acceptable, require lifestyle changes or whether a visit to your GP is recommended.
