Inflammation
Also written as: Inflammatory Markers
Simple Meaning
The body's repair-and-defence response — it can come from infection, injury, or immune conditions.
Where it appears in reports
Reflected in ESR and CRP values and in words like 'inflammatory changes' on reports.
Why it matters
Inflammation markers say 'something is active' without saying what. They are most useful for tracking trends — falling markers usually mean treatment is working.
Doctor advice needed
Report words describe findings — they are not diagnoses. What "Inflammation" means for you depends on your symptoms, history, and other results. Always review your report with your doctor.
