About this test

  • Joint pain, stiffness, or swelling
  • Persistent fatigue or low energy
  • Muscle aches or weakness
  • Fever or low-grade temperature
  • Skin rashes or flare-ups (e.g. lupus-related)
  • Digestive issues (e.g. bloating, cramping, or changes in bowel habits)
  • Dry eyes or dry mouth
  • Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
  • Numbness or tingling in hands and feet
  • Unexplained weight changes
  • General malaise or flu-like symptoms
  • No symptoms at all in early or mild inflammation

Recommended for individuals experiencing ongoing fatigue, joint pain, muscle aches, or other symptoms suggestive of autoimmune or inflammatory conditions. Ideal for those with diagnosed autoimmune disorders—such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or vasculitis—who need regular monitoring of disease activity. Also suitable for anyone with unexplained symptoms that may indicate systemic inflammation, or for those taking a proactive approach to tracking immune and inflammatory health over time.

  • Autoimmune diseases (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, vasculitis)
  • Chronic inflammatory disorders
  • Polymyalgia rheumatica
  • Temporal arteritis (giant cell arteritis)
  • Infections causing systemic inflammation
  • Inflammatory bowel diseases (e.g. Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis)
  • Long COVID or post-viral inflammatory syndromes
  • Unexplained fatigue or chronic pain syndromes
  • Monitoring response to treatment in autoimmune conditions
  • Hidden or low-grade inflammation without clear diagnosis
