Is It Chronic Inflammation? Find Out with These Lab Tests

Woman stretching to avoid inflammation for whole body

Discover if you have chronic inflammation

Be proactive: detect inflammation before it causes life-threatening diseases.

What do inflammation tests look for?

  • Key markers of systemic and chronic inflammation associated with cancer, Alzheimer’s and other diseases
  • Signs of age-related inflammation and oxidative stress—also known as “inflammaging”
  • Cardiac inflammation, indicating risks for heart failure, high cholesterol and more

The complement system is a group of proteins (C1–C9) that participate in your body’s immune and inflammatory responses. In those with autoimmune disorders, the C3 protein may drop. This test measures C3 levels so your health care provider can assess risk and treatment options.

Oxidative stress is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in your body, which could end up damaging cells or even DNA. This test looks for F2-Isoprostanes in the urine, which are a marker of oxidative stress or free radical activity in the body.

To assess your body's ability to repair aging cells and tissue, this panel tests for insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). IGF-1, a.k.a. somatomedin C.
