Comprehensive Inflammatory Markers Panel
Measure the fire inside — systemic inflammation assessment
$150–$300
3–5 business days
A comprehensive inflammatory markers panel measures multiple cytokines, inflammatory mediators, and immune activation markers including IL-6, TNF-alpha, IL-1β, hsCRP, ESR, and ferritin — providing a complete picture of systemic inflammation.
Chronic low-grade inflammation is the root of virtually all chronic disease: cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, neurodegeneration, and autoimmunity. Standard bloodwork rarely checks inflammatory markers beyond basic CRP or ESR, missing the deeper inflammatory picture.
What It Measures
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP)
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
Interleukin-6 (IL-6 — pro-inflammatory cytokine)
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)
Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β)
Ferritin (iron storage and inflammation marker)
Serum amyloid A
Why Gabriel Recommends It
Inflammation is the common denominator in chronic disease and accelerated aging. Two people the same age can have wildly different inflammatory profiles — one with hsCRP < 1 mg/L (low risk), the other with hsCRP > 3 mg/L (high risk for cardiovascular events, neurodegeneration, and cancer). Gabriel uses inflammatory marker panels to assess your baseline inflammatory state and to track the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory interventions: omega-3s, curcumin, resveratrol, dietary changes, stress reduction — measuring what works for YOUR body.
What to Expect
A fasting blood draw at a local lab. Fast for 10–12 hours (water only). Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours before the test (can elevate inflammatory markers acutely). Results arrive in 3–5 business days with detailed inflammatory marker analysis. Upload to Gabriel for anti-inflammatory protocol design.
How Gabriel Interprets This
Conventional practitioners read these results through a disease-focused lens — looking for what's broken. Gabriel reads them through a holistic lens — looking for what's out of balance and how to restore it. We see optimal ranges, not just "normal" ranges. We connect findings across all your diagnostics to reveal patterns that siloed specialists miss.

Frequently Asked Questions
A comprehensive panel typically covers hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein), ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), homocysteine, fibrinogen, ferritin, IL-6, TNF-alpha, and sometimes oxidized LDL. Together, these reveal systemic inflammation levels that standard panels miss.
High-sensitivity CRP is the most widely validated inflammatory marker. Levels below 1.0 mg/L indicate low cardiovascular risk. Between 1-3 is moderate. Above 3.0 is high risk. It's one of the strongest predictors of heart attack and stroke, independent of cholesterol levels.
Elevated homocysteine damages blood vessel walls and increases clotting risk. It's often caused by B-vitamin deficiencies (B12, folate, B6) or MTHFR gene variants. Optimal is below 8 umol/L. Above 12 significantly increases cardiovascular and neurological risk. It's easy to treat once identified.
Individual markers cost $20-50 each through direct labs. A comprehensive inflammatory panel runs $100-250. Insurance typically covers hs-CRP and ESR with appropriate diagnosis codes. Homocysteine may require specific justification.
