This test analyses key inflammation biomarkers such as high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), ferritin and grip strength. The test assesses your body's inflammatory status and potential for longevity.
Our Inflammatory Profile measures important markers linked to inflammation, giving you a clearer picture of your overall health and wellbeing. These tests include:
These checks can help identify inflammation that may be contributing to fatigue, illness or long-term health conditions.

What are inflammation markers?
Markers such as hsCRP and ferritin help assess your body's inflammatory status. Raised levels may indicate underlying inflammation linked to infections, autoimmune conditions or cardiovascular disease.
What does it mean if inflammation is detected?
Chronic inflammation is a risk factor for several long-term conditions, including heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers. Identifying raised levels early gives you the chance to take proactive steps to manage your health.
High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) A precise blood test that detects even low levels of chronic inflammation, often before symptoms appear.
Ferritin The main storage form of iron in the body. Low levels may suggest iron deficiency, while high levels can signal inflammation.
Grip strength Measured with a handheld device, grip strength is strongly linked with overall health, independence in later life and longevity. Weaker grip strength has been associated with inflammation, frailty, reduced muscle mass and increased risk of falls.

Rheumatoid factor is used to help diagnose Rheumatoid Arthritis. It is eventually present in significant concentrations in about 80% of patients with RA but also present in other conditions and in a small percentage of healthy people.
Our ANA blood test helps detect antibodies that may indicate autoimmune activity in the body. It's a useful first step in investigating symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, dry eyes, or rashes, guiding further testing if needed.
If you're experiencing symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, or unexplained anaemia, this test checks for intrinsic factor antibodies, which are linked to autoimmune gastritis and pernicious anaemia.
