DarDoc is a home collection service, and these are the prices its website lists test by test. The website also advertises a 20% coupon, which is not the price shown here. Zavis did not verify the total at checkout.
Healthchecks360 is a booking platform that works through partner labs. Its terms say prices may vary from centre to centre, and its pages do not state VAT or a collection cost.
Smart Care Polyclinic in Deira lists these prices on its laboratory page and calls them list prices. The page offers 30% to 50% off when four or more tests are chosen, with the discounted price sent by the clinic; that discount is not in the prices shown here. The page does not state VAT.

CRP: The services that publish prices list standard CRP and high-sensitivity CRP as separate tests at different prices, so Zavis shows no single price for this test.

About heart and cardiac tests

Troponin is a marker of heart muscle injury and is used when a heart attack is suspected. BNP and NT-proBNP are used to assess heart failure. High-sensitivity CRP measures inflammation, which is linked to cardiovascular risk.

Who these tests are commonly ordered for

Doctors commonly order these tests for people with chest pain, shortness of breath on exertion or swelling in the lower legs, and for people with risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking or a family history of early heart disease. Troponin is mainly a hospital test for a suspected heart attack. A doctor can advise whether and how often to test.
