This test measures four important biomarkers that together provide a complete picture of inflammatory activity. It is more extensive than the basic package due to the addition of platelets, which are also involved in inflammatory processes. This test is suitable for people with chronic inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, or unexplained symptoms that may indicate underlying inflammation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is tested?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCRP (C-reactive protein)\u003c\/strong\u003e – Acute inflammation marker that reacts quickly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeukocytes (white blood cells)\u003c\/strong\u003e – Immune system cells that are elevated during inflammation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate)\u003c\/strong\u003e – Marker for chronic inflammation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlatelets\u003c\/strong\u003e – Involved in blood clotting and inflammatory processes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy should you have an Extensive Inflammation test done?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis test is important for people with chronic inflammation such as rheumatism, lupus, arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, or other autoimmune diseases. It also helps monitor the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory treatments. Platelets are included because they play an active role in inflammatory processes and are often elevated in chronic inflammation. The test is also useful for unexplained symptoms such as persistent fatigue, joint pain, fever, or weight loss that may indicate underlying inflammatory processes.
