Identifying it early is crucial, and blood tests offer valuable insights. Key markers include C-reactive protein (CRP), uric acid, fasting insulin, homocysteine, and ferritin. Elevated levels may ...

Unlike many other blood tests, fasting typically isn’t necessary ... insight into inflammatory processes. The ESR and CRP complement each other particularly well, with CRP reflecting immediate ...

The test measures the CRP protein in cerebrospinal fluid, a protein that is already often tested in blood to detect bacterial infections. Currently, it often takes a long time before meningitis is ...

The level of C-reactive protein can also be detected with a simple blood test. The high-sensitivity CRP (HSCRP) test is more sensitive than the C-reactive protein test. With this test, doctors can ...
