Inflammation Panel
The inflammation panel evaluates markers of an inflammatory process - CRP, ESR, ferritin and fibrinogen. It's used in infections, autoimmune and chronic conditions.
Also known as: Inflammatory Markers · Inflammation Markers
Preparation: No special preparation is usually needed.
CRP and ESR are general markers of inflammation, while ferritin and fibrinogen rise as acute-phase proteins. They're non-specific: they show that inflammation is present, not where.

Frequently asked questions
What does a high CRP mean?
CRP rises with inflammation or infection but doesn't point to the cause. hs-CRP is also used for cardiac-risk assessment. Read it with your doctor in context.
How does ESR differ from CRP?
Both are inflammation markers, but CRP responds faster and ESR more slowly and lingers. They're often looked at together.
