Fibromyalgia Test

Inflammation is the primary cause of high CRP levels in the blood. Therefore, conditions that are associated with inflammation can cause elevated CRP levels.

• Some diseases that can cause high CRP levels include infections, autoimmune disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and inflammatory bowel disease.
• Infections that can cause high CRP levels include bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, such as pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis.
• Autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, can also cause high CRP levels due to chronic inflammation.
• High CRP levels can also be seen in cancer, as the body mounts an inflammatory response against the tumor.

A complete blood count (CBC) is a blood test that provides information about various components of the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

• CBC can help detect a wide range of diseases and conditions, including anemia, infections, leukemia, and other blood disorders.
• Abnormal CBC results may also indicate underlying health problems such as liver or kidney disease, inflammatory disorders, and autoimmune diseases.
• Changes in CBC parameters over time can help monitor disease progression and the effectiveness of treatment.
• CBC is a useful screening tool that can help identify potential health issues, but it is not a definitive diagnostic test.

• The ESR test is a simple blood test that measures the rate at which red blood cells settle at the bottom of a tube over a specified period.
• It is a non-specific test used to detect inflammation in the body. Inflammation causes certain proteins to increase in the blood, which can make red blood cells clump together and settle faster.
