About this test

  • Persistent fatigue or low energy
  • Unexplained fever or body aches
  • Swelling, redness, or joint pain
  • Recurring infections or slow recovery
  • General feelings of malaise or "flu-like" symptoms
  • Headaches or unexplained discomfort
  • Elevated heart rate or palpitations (in chronic inflammation)
  • Stiffness or soreness in muscles or joints
  • No symptoms at all in early or low-grade inflammation

Recommended for individuals experiencing unexplained fatigue, low-grade fever, joint or muscle aches, or signs of chronic inflammation. Ideal for those with suspected infections, autoimmune conditions, or ongoing inflammatory symptoms. Also suitable for anyone monitoring cardiovascular risk or taking a proactive approach to general health and inflammation management.

  • Acute or chronic inflammation
  • Bacterial or viral infections
  • Autoimmune diseases (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, lupus)
  • Cardiovascular disease risk (e.g. atherosclerosis)
  • Chronic inflammatory disorders (e.g. IBD, Crohn’s disease)
  • Post-surgical or injury-related inflammation
  • Obesity-related inflammation
  • Unexplained fever or malaise
  • Metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes
  • Inflammatory response due to environmental or lifestyle stressors
