Inflammatory Markers
diagnosticInflammatory markers are blood test values, such as ESR and CRP, that reflect how much inflammation is present in the body. They do not identify the cause on their own, but rising or falling levels help doctors judge disease activity. They are checked at diagnosis and repeated during care to follow treatment response in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.
