What this test reveals
What this test reveals
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.
People usually reach for this kind of diagnostic when they want a clearer read on high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hscrp), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (esr), interleukin-6 (il-6 — pro-inflammatory cytokine), especially when symptoms or prior testing still leave blind spots.
Once results are back, you can upload them into Gabriel to connect the findings to symptoms, protocols, and next-step testing instead of leaving them as a static report.
Commonly relevant for: Autoimmune Disorders, Heart Disease Prevention, Anti Aging Longevity.
Gabriel difference
Why this becomes more useful inside Gabriel
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.
Gabriel interprets results through a functional, root-cause lens: optimal ranges, pattern recognition across multiple diagnostics, and what the findings actually mean for action rather than just classification.
That means this test can feed directly into protocols, practitioner matching, food strategy, and follow-up testing instead of ending as a one-off PDF or lab portal result.

Frequently asked questions
Questions people usually ask before ordering
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.
