Our Inflammation Panel tests for erythrocyte sedimentation rate, c-reactive proteins, and plasma viscosity in the blood to assess inflammation in the body.
Inflammation is the body's way of protecting itself from injuries or viruses and bacteria. When a part of the body becomes inflamed, it signals to the immune system that the area needs to be repaired and protected from illness. While inflammation is beneficial to the body, too much inflammation can cause or worsen certain health conditions.
Too much inflammation can cause or worsen:
- Obesity
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Depression
- Cancer
- Arthritis
- Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome
- Lupus
- Stroke
- Eczema and psoriasis
By testing for inflammation, this panel helps clients understand how well their immune system is working and possibly their potential for some chronic illness.
The test is conducted in the lab, using a blood sample collected from the client's arm. Results are emailed to clients through Elation within 48 hours of the appointment. They are available at select clinics for $100, or for House Call appointments in Los Angeles for $150. To schedule, please go to samedayhealth.com.
