Description

Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury or infection — but when it becomes chronic or excessive, it can contribute to a wide range of health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, metabolic dysfunction, and chronic fatigue.
Our Inflammation Blood Test provides a comprehensive overview of both acute and chronic inflammatory activity in the body. By measuring key inflammatory markers and immune indicators, this panel helps identify underlying inflammation and supports early, proactive intervention.

Who Is This Test For?
This test may be beneficial for:
  • Individuals experiencing persistent fatigue, joint pain, or unexplained symptoms
  • Patients with suspected or diagnosed autoimmune conditions
  • Individuals monitoring chronic inflammatory diseases
  • Those at risk of cardiovascular disease
  • Patients with metabolic syndrome, obesity, or diabetes
  • Individuals recovering from infection or illness
  • Anyone seeking a proactive assessment of systemic inflammation
It can also be used as part of routine wellness screening or as a follow-up test to monitor treatment progress.

What Does the Test Measure?
Full Blood Count (FBC)
Provides an overall assessment of blood health, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It helps detect infection, anemia, immune disorders, and general health status.
White Blood Cell Count (WBC)
A key marker of immune activity. Elevated or reduced levels may indicate infection, inflammation, immune dysfunction, or bone marrow conditions.
C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
A protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. CRP levels rise rapidly during acute inflammatory processes.
High-Sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP)
A more sensitive measurement of CRP used to detect low-grade, chronic inflammation — particularly useful in assessing cardiovascular risk.
Interleukin-6 (IL-6)
A pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in immune response regulation. Elevated IL-6 levels are associated with chronic inflammation, autoimmune conditions, and cardiometabolic risk.
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)
Measures how quickly red blood cells settle in a test tube. A faster rate may indicate inflammation or autoimmune activity.

Why Test?
Chronic, low-grade inflammation often goes unnoticed but can silently contribute to long-term health complications. Identifying inflammatory markers early allows for targeted lifestyle changes, medical evaluation, and personalised treatment strategies.
Understand your body’s inflammatory status — because prevention begins with insight.
