The following is a list of what is included in the item above. Click the test(s) below to view what biomarkers are measured along with an explanation of what the biomarker is measuring.
C-Reactive Protein (CRP) #4420 (1 Biomarkers)
Also known as: C-Reactive Protein, CReactive Protein CRP, CRP
Biomarkers 1
C-REACTIVE PROTEIN
C-reactive protein is produced by the liver. The level of CRP rises when there is inflammation throughout the body.
Rheumatoid factor (RF) is a blood test that measures the amount of the RF antibody in the blood. An abnormal result means the test is positive, which means higher levels of rheumatoid factor have been detected in your blood. Most patients with rheumatoid arthritis or Sjogren syndrome have positive RF tests. The higher the level, the more likely one of these conditions is present. Not everyone with higher levels of rheumatoid factor has rheumatoid arthritis or Sjogren syndrome.

Also known as: ESR, SED RATE, Sed Rate by Modified Westergren ESR
Biomarkers 1

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is an indirect measure of the degree of inflammation present in the body. It actually measures the rate of fall (sedimentation) of erythrocytes (red blood cells) in a sample of blood.
