Comprehensive blood test analyzing cytokine levels to assess inflammation and immune function.
Inflammation and autoimmune marker tests measure your body's immune response and can detect both acute and chronic inflammation. High-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) is a key marker for systemic inflammation and an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk. ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) indicates general inflammation but is less specific. Autoimmune markers like ANA (antinuclear antibodies), rheumatoid factor, and specific cytokines help identify conditions where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues. Chronic low-grade inflammation is increasingly recognized as a driver of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative conditions — making these markers valuable for anyone focused on longevity and disease prevention.
Key Details
Who Is This For?
Anyone with unexplained joint pain, fatigue, or recurrent symptoms that could indicate autoimmune activity. People with a family history of autoimmune diseases (lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's). Health-conscious individuals tracking inflammation as part of a longevity protocol. Those recovering from illness or injury who want to monitor their inflammatory response.
What's Included
Preparation Required
No fasting required for most inflammation markers. Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours before testing, as it temporarily elevates CRP and other inflammatory markers. Inform your provider of any acute illness, injury, or infection, as these will cause temporary elevations unrelated to chronic conditions.
Biomarkers Tested
16A group of pro-inflammatory cytokines involved in the immune response to infection and injury.
A pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in the immune response to infection and injury, and in regulating physiological processes.
Plays a crucial role in the development and survival of immune cells, particularly T cells and B cells.
A pro-inflammatory cytokine that promotes the recruitment and activation of neutrophils and other immune cells.
A pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in the immune response to infections, particularly against extracellular bacteria and fungi.
A pro-inflammatory cytokine that promotes inflammation by activating immune cells and increasing the production of other pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Plays an important role in the regulation of immune responses and inflammation.
Plays a crucial role in the regulation of the production, differentiation, and function of various types of blood cells.
Stimulates the proliferation, differentiation, and activation of various immune cells.
Plays a key role in the regulation of immune responses and inflammation.
Plays a key role in the regulation of immune responses and inflammation.
Plays a key role in the regulation of immune responses and inflammation.
Plays a key role in the regulation of immune responses and inflammation.
Plays a key role in the regulation of immune responses and inflammation.
A highly sensitive test for low-grade chronic inflammation linked to cardiovascular disease risk. Lower hs-CRP values are associated with better cardiovascular outcomes.
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate — measures how quickly red blood cells settle to the bottom of a test tube. Faster settling indicates more inflammation. ESR is a non-specific marker used to monitor inflammatory conditions like arthritis and vasculitis.
