Inflammation
5 markers in this category
CRP (C-Reactive Protein)
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein that according to the NVKC, the Dutch society of clinical chemists, is made in the liver and released by the liver into the bloodstream.
ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate)
Your ESR result shows how quickly red blood cells settle towards the bottom of an upright tube. The laboratory reads that distance after exactly one hour, in millimetres per hour.
Homocysteine
Homocysteine is an amino acid produced during protein metabolism. Elevated levels may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and other health conditions.
SAA (Serum Amyloid A)
Serum amyloid A (SAA) is a protein that, according to the pathology laboratory of Leeds Teaching Hospitals (NHS), liver cells release in the acute phase of inflammation.
hs-CRP (High Sensitivity CRP)
High-Sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) measures very low levels of C-Reactive Protein in the blood. It is primarily used to assess cardiovascular risk by detecting low-grade chronic inflammation.
