it\u2019s nearly impossible to determine whether or not you\u2019re experiencing chronic, low-grade inflammation by looking in a mirror or assessing how you feel (many of the symptoms of this type of inflammation can also point to other types of illness,) you should consider taking a blood test. <b>Blood testing for chronic inflammation is in its infancy, but there are some markers that are available and might even be covered by your insurance. <\/b>These are the most common blood tests you can take:<\/p><p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><b>CRP (High sensitivity) tests serum levels of CRP (C-reactive protein)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C-reactive proteins are also called \u201cacute phase\u201d proteins. <\/span><b>The level of CRP in your blood increases when you have certain diseases that can cause inflammation &#8211; like sepsis, autoimmunity, and even certain cancers.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This marker is now used to assess risk of cardiac disease too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><b>IL-6<\/b><\/p><p><b>Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an inflammatory protein produced by a variety of immune cells.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It plays a role in regulating immune responses &#8211; so it\u2019s a good way to tell if your immune system has been activated. <\/span><b>This protein can be elevated in the presence of inflammation, infection, autoimmunity, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 IL-6 exists within the \u2018pro-inflammatory\u2019 group of cytokines.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><b>TNF-alpha<\/b><\/p><p><b>TNF-alpha stands for \u201cTumor necrosis factor-alpha.\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is a cytokine (inflammatory protein) <\/span><b>involved in physiological processes that control inflammation, homeostasis, and anti-tumor responses.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If this level is high, it\u2019s pointing to a high level of inflammatory cytokines.\u00a0 This protein is often elevated in the face of autoimmune disorders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><b>ESR\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><b>Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR or sed rate) is a test that measures the amount of inflammation present in the body.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It measures <\/span><b>the rate of sedimentation of red blood cells (how many \u201csettle\u201d) at the bottom of a thin, vertical tube.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These cells settle faster if there are high levels of inflammatory proteins in the blood.\u00a0 The ESR is a great method of screening for inflammation but is not very specific.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><b>HbA1c<\/b><\/p><p><b>A hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test measures the amount of blood sugar (glucose) in your red blood cells that has been present for the past three months.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It shows the average amount of glucose attached to hemoglobin (the part of your red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body,) and is a good indicator of diabetes. <\/span><b>If your levels are high, you may be at risk of diabetes, which can lead to\u00a0 concerning conditions like nerve damage.\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The A1C is actually measuring the amount of advanced glycated end-products that have attached to red blood cells.\u00a0 AGE is a marker of oxidative stress and low-grade inflammation.\u00a0 AGE is also considered a measure of \u2018metabolic memory\u2019 and can be used to show overall stress on the system.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><b>Homocysteine<\/b><\/p><p><b>This test measures the amount of homocysteine, a type of amino acid, in your blood. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your body uses homocysteine to make proteins. Vitamins B12 and B6, along with folic acid help convert homocysteine into what your body needs, so there should be little homocysteine left in your body. <\/span><b>If you have higher levels than normal, it could be a sign of vitamin deficiency or heart disease.\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This serum level will denote either vitamin deficiency or elevated levels of inflammation.\u00a0 Certain anti-inflammatory compounds have been shown to decrease serum levels of homocysteine (resveratrol, aspirin, salicylic acid).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f46544 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3f46544\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Ask For Support<\/h2><p>If you want to make serious changes in your health and wellness, it\u2019s always a good idea to bring a functional wellness team into the mix.\u00a0<\/p><p>Our team of experts can help assess your current level of fitness, identify what changes to your diet and routines you can make to support a healthier lifestyle, and <b>set you up with inflammatory marker testing and provide recommendations to reduce inflammation.<\/b><\/p><p>Click below to schedule your appointment today:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-899f3f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"899f3f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.warnerorthopedics.com\/contact-us\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"286\" src=\"https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/web-button-for-blog-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-218596\" alt=\"Request An Appointment: Orthopedic Surgeon Baton Rouge\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/web-button-for-blog-2.jpg 850w, https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/web-button-for-blog-2-600x202.jpg 600w, https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/web-button-for-blog-2-300x101.jpg 300w, https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/web-button-for-blog-2-768x258.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chronic inflammation is a type of slow, long-term and damaging inflammation that lasts for a prolonged period of time.
