Inflammation Panel
The inflammation panel groups biomarkers used to assess acute-phase signaling and chronic inflammatory burden. It currently includes CRP and leaves placeholders for additional inflammatory markers such as ESR, fibrinogen, and interleukin-6 pending verified source data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is CRP central to an inflammation panel?
CRP is widely measured, rises across many inflammatory states, and is available in large population datasets. It is often the anchor marker for broad inflammation screening.
Why are more than one inflammation markers useful?
Different inflammatory markers reflect different biologic pathways and time scales. A broader panel can help separate transient inflammation from chronic low-grade inflammatory burden.
