ESR & CRP (Inflammation Markers)

Two blood tests — erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) — that detect and measure the level of inflammation in the body. They're used to help diagnose and monitor inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, though they don't point to a specific cause on their own.
