Understanding Inflammation – What Your Blood Can Reveal About Long-Term Health
By Tharb Faisl
Inflammation: Your Body’s Alarm System. Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury or infection — but when it becomes chronic, it can quietly damage your organs, joints, and blood vessels without any obvious symptoms.
At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, we offer blood tests that detect and monitor inflammation, helping you take proactive steps toward long-term health.

What Inflammatory Blood Tests Can Show You
We offer the following tests individually or as part of larger health panels:
| Test | What It Detects |
| hsCRP (High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein) | Low-grade, long-term inflammation – especially heart-related |
| ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) | General inflammatory activity – useful for autoimmune conditions |
| Fibrinogen | Blood clotting + inflammation marker |
| Full Blood Count (FBC) | White blood cell patterns that indicate infection or inflammation |
| Ferritin | Can rise in response to chronic inflammation |
These tests are often included in our Marylebone Health Screening Profile (£229), ideal for those wanting a complete picture of metabolic and inflammatory health.
