Blood Test For Infection And Inflammation In The Body

They are laboratory tests used to measure the levels of inflammatory markers in a patient's blood. These tests can detect various markers such as cytokines, C-reactive protein, and other inflammatory markers. The test is based on the principle of fluorescence and is widely used in diagnosing and monitoring inflammation associated with various medical conditions such as autoimmune disorders, infections, and cancer.

Types of Inflammation Monitoring Tests

Hypersensitive C-Reactive Protein+C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP+CRP) Tests

Hypersensitive C-reactive protein + C-reactive protein (hsCRP+CRP) tests are diagnostic tests used to measure the level of CRP in a patient's blood. CRP is a marker of inflammation and is produced by the liver in response to an infection, injury, or chronic disease. These tests are used to assess the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and monitor the effectiveness of treatment. The test is simple, and results are usually obtained within a few hours. High levels of CRP may indicate inflammation in the body, which may increase the risk of developing heart disease.

Procalcitonin (PCT) Tests

Procalcitonin (PCT) tests are used to measure the level of PCT in the blood. PCT is a protein that is produced in response to bacterial infections. Elevated levels of PCT may indicate the presence of a bacterial infection, while low levels may indicate a viral infection or no infection at all. PCT tests are commonly used in the diagnosis and management of sepsis and other bacterial infections.

What Is The Difference Between Crp And Hscrp In Inflammation Tests?

CRP is a general biomarker of inflammation and is present in high levels with most inflammatory conditions. hsCRP is a highly sensitive type of CRP that can detect lower levels of inflammation and is used to monitor patients with chronic inflammatory conditions.

How Is An Inflammation Test Performed?

Inflammation tests are typically performed on a blood sample taken from the patients'. The sample is sent to a laboratory where it is analyzed for biomarkers of inflammation. With hypersensitive c-reactive protein+c-reactive protein (hsCRP+CRP) tests and procalcitonin (PCT) tests available, Prometheus offers a diverse selection for different applications.
