Inflammatory markers

Inflammatory Markers Testing:

Inflammation is a natural response of the body’s immune system to injury or infection. However, chronic inflammation can contribute to a wide range of health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and even cancer. Inflammatory Markers Testing helps identify elevated levels of inflammation in your body, allowing for early detection and management of underlying conditions.

Common Inflammatory Markers Tested:

1. High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP)

  • A more sensitive version of the CRP test, used specifically to assess the risk of heart disease by detecting low levels of inflammation in the blood vessels.

2. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)

  • A test that measures how quickly red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube. A faster-than-normal rate indicates inflammation, which can point to conditions such as autoimmune diseases or infections.

3. Fibrinogen

  • A clotting protein that increases in response to inflammation. Elevated levels can indicate the presence of inflammatory conditions and are associated with a higher risk of heart disease.

4. Interleukin-6 (IL-6)

  • A cytokine (a small protein) that plays a key role in inflammation. High IL-6 levels are linked to chronic inflammatory conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis and cardiovascular disease.

5. Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)

  • A cytokine involved in systemic inflammation. Elevated TNF-alpha levels are associated with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and other autoimmune disorders.

Why Get Tested?

  • Early Detection: Identify inflammation before symptoms appear, helping to prevent long-term damage.
  • Manage Chronic Conditions: Track inflammation levels in conditions like arthritis, autoimmune diseases, and heart disease.
  • Personalized Treatment: Work with your healthcare provider to develop a plan to reduce inflammation and improve your health.
