What is an Inflammation Test?
The Better2Know Inflammation Test is able to detect inflammation in the body, which can be caused by many diseases including infections, auto-immune conditions and cancers.
Why consider an Inflammation Test?
If you have been suffering from chronic inflammation and you are concerned about whether it may be arthritis, an auto-immune disorder or bowel disease, our Inflammation Test is suitable for you.
How does this test work?
This test requires a blood sample to be collected by a nurse or trained healthcare professional, and sent to our accredited laboratory using the postage-paid envelope provided.
What tests will be run on my sample?
This test will assess the following:
Full blood count (FBC) with a 5-part differential. This test checks the levels of all your different blood cells identifying any abnormalities.
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). The ESR measures the rate at which blood cells settle in a tube. Faster rates can indicate inflammatory problems.
C-Reactive Protein (CRP). This is a substance produced by the liver and is a marker for infection and inflammation. Elevated levels of CRP could signify chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease or lupus.
