A private inflammation check measures markers in the blood — chiefly CRP and ESR — that show whether there's inflammation in the body, and helps track it over time.

Inflammation underlies many conditions, from infections to autoimmune and metabolic disease, so these markers are a useful, simple health signal.

What the Markers Show

CRP and ESR rise with inflammation but don't show where or why on their own, so they're interpreted with your symptoms and, where needed, further tests.

Persistently raised markers prompt a closer look for an underlying cause.

Who Should Consider It

Consider it for unexplained symptoms such as fatigue, aches or fevers, to monitor a known inflammatory condition, or as part of a wider wellbeing check.

It can be booked directly at The Vesey, on its own or within a panel.
