Inflammation Blood Test Panel
Mar 17, 2026
Inflammation Blood Test Panel
An inflammation blood test measures markers like hsCRP, ESR, and others to detect chronic low-grade inflammation—now recognised as a key driver of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and accelerated aging, making it one of the most important health markers to monitor and optimise. You can have chronic inflammation without obvious symptoms, silently damaging your health.
At Blood Test London, inflammation testing costs from £265 with results in 2-3 days. A doctor always reviews every result.

Why Inflammation Testing Matters
Chronic Inflammation Is Linked To:
Condition | Connection |
|---|---|
Heart disease | Inflammation drives atherosclerosis |
Type 2 diabetes | Inflammation impairs insulin signaling |
Cancer | Chronic inflammation promotes mutations |
Alzheimer's | Brain inflammation accelerates decline |
Depression | Inflammatory cytokines affect mood |
Autoimmune disease | Dysregulated inflammation |
Accelerated aging | "Inflammaging" |
What We Measure
Marker | What It Shows | Optimal Level |
|---|---|---|
hsCRP | General inflammation | Below 1.0 mg/L |
ESR | Chronic inflammation | Low-normal for age |
Homocysteine | Vascular inflammation | Below 10 μmol/L |
Ferritin | Can indicate inflammation (when high) | Context-dependent |
Fibrinogen | Clotting and inflammation | Normal range |
Causes of Elevated Inflammation
Poor diet (processed foods, sugar, excess omega-6)
Obesity (fat cells produce inflammatory chemicals)
Sedentary lifestyle
Poor sleep
Chronic stress
Smoking
Excess alcohol
Chronic infections
Autoimmune conditions
Gut dysbiosis
