Chronic inflammation is the common underlying thread in most degenerative and chronic diseases — cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, autoimmune conditions, neurodegenerative disease, and cancer. At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry uses inflammatory marker testing to quantify systemic inflammatory load, identify the drivers of elevated inflammation, and track the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory interventions over time.
How Inflammatory Marker Testing Works
Inflammatory marker testing at IHP typically includes: high-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP — the most clinically validated cardiovascular inflammation marker), homocysteine (reflects methylation status and cardiovascular risk), ferritin (an acute phase reactant elevated in inflammation — often the first marker to show systemic inflammatory stress), fibrinogen, and IL-6 or TNF-alpha for specific inflammatory profiles. Results are interpreted in the context of your full clinical picture.
