Inflammation Check

Inflammation Check – Detect Inflammations, Protect Health

Silent inflammations often play a hidden but significant role in the development of many chronic diseases. The Inflammation Check offers you the opportunity to detect early signs of inflammatory processes and imbalances in the body – for a healthy and vital life.

This check analyzes important health markers:

• CRP (C-reactive protein): A central marker for acute and chronic inflammations, often associated with cardiovascular diseases and other health risks.
• HDL cholesterol: The "good" cholesterol that counteracts inflammation and protects your vessels.
• SHBG (Sex hormone-binding globulin): Provides insights into hormonal balance and inflammatory processes.
• Cortisol: The stress hormone that regulates inflammatory reactions in the body – essential for your health in the right measure.
• Prolactin: A hormone that plays an important role in stress and inflammation and influences your immune response.
• Uric Acid: Provides information about oxidative stress and the risk of gout or chronic inflammation.

Take action for your health now – before inflammation becomes a problem.

Keep an eye on inflammation – for your long-term health.
Chronic or silent inflammations are often unnoticed but can be the basis for numerous diseases such as cardiovascular problems, diabetes, or autoimmune diseases. The Inflammation Check helps you:

• Identify risks for inflammation-related diseases at an early stage.
• Better understand your hormonal balance and the impact of stress on your health.
• Actively address hidden health risks and remain vital in the long term.

This test is a simple way to gain insights into inflammation processes and metabolic imbalances before they affect your daily life.

html Ideal if you want to recognize changes in a timely manner.

• Suffering from symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, or general discomfort.
• Want to check your risk for chronic inflammation, gout, or hormonal imbalances.
• Are frequently stressed and want to know how it affects your body.
• Want to act preventively to avoid long-term damage.
• Is part of regular health care.

C-reactive protein (CRP)

CRP is an inflammation marker in the blood that increases when there are inflammations or infections in the body. An elevated CRP level can indicate acute or chronic inflammations, infections, or even cardiovascular diseases.

HDL cholesterol

HDL cholesterol, also known as good cholesterol, is an important biomarker for heart health. A high HDL level in the blood is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, as it helps remove excess cholesterol from the arteries. A healthy lifestyle with regular physical activity and a balanced diet can help increase HDL levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG)

SHBG is a protein that binds and regulates sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen in the blood, determining how much of these hormones are available in the body. An abnormal SHBG level can indicate hormonal imbalances or liver diseases.

Cortisol

Cortisol is a hormone produced in the adrenal glands and plays a key role in the stress response as well as in the regulation of metabolism. Elevated or decreased cortisol levels may indicate stress, hormonal disorders, or adrenal diseases.

Prolactin

Prolactin is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland and plays an important role in milk production after birth. Abnormal prolactin levels can indicate hormonal disorders, pituitary tumors, or thyroid problems.

Uric acid

Uric acid is a breakdown product of purines, which come from food or cells. An elevated level can not only lead to painful gout attacks but also indicate a metabolic imbalance that can strain the kidneys and joints in the long term.

What is examined in the Inflammation Check?

The test measures important inflammation markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) to provide indications of acute or chronic inflammation in the body.

Who is this test suitable for?

The Inflammation Check is suitable for anyone experiencing unclear symptoms such as persistent fatigue, pain, or susceptibility to infections and who wants to check their inflammation levels.

How does the sampling work?

The sampling is conveniently done from home using a capillary blood test from the fingertip. You will receive a test kit with detailed instructions for safe execution.

How long does it take to receive my results?

After sending in the sample, you will typically receive your lab results digitally within 3–5 business days.

What do elevated inflammation levels mean?

Elevated CRP levels can indicate acute infections, chronic inflammation, or autoimmune diseases. If your levels are noticeable, you should consider a medical evaluation.

Can I use the test preventively?

Yes, the test is also suitable for regular health monitoring to become aware of inflammatory processes in the body at an early stage.

What happens if my levels are outside the reference range?

If your levels are elevated, you should speak with a doctor. They can clarify possible causes and, if necessary, recommend further examinations or measures.

How reliable are the results?

The analysis is conducted in a certified specialist laboratory according to the highest medical standards, so you can rely on precise and reliable results.
