Discover the Hidden Drivers of Chronic Inflammation and Immune Dysfunction
Do you struggle with fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, or unexplained symptoms that seem to have no clear cause? The missing link may be chronic inflammation —a silent disruptor that contributes to nearly every chronic disease.
At Ultimate Functional Medicine, we use a comprehensive Inflammation & Immune Marker Panel to uncover hidden sources of inflammation and immune system imbalances. This panel helps us personalize your care plan for lasting relief and optimal wellness.
🌿What is the Inflammation & Immune Marker Panel?
This advanced blood test analyzes key markers that assess:
Chronic inflammation
Immune system function
Autoimmune activity
Nutrient status for immune resilience
By understanding your unique inflammatory and immune profile, we can target the root cause of symptoms like:
Fatigue and low energy
Joint and muscle pain
Digestive issues
Brain fog and mood swings
Skin problems like rashes, hives, or eczema
Hormonal imbalances
Identifying these imbalances is crucial for addressing root causes of chronic symptoms and optimizing overall health.
Here’s what we test—and what it means for your health:
hs-CRP (High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein):
A key marker of systemic inflammation linked to heart disease, metabolic issues, and chronic illness.
Homocysteine:
Reflects methylation status and cardiovascular risk; high levels can damage blood vessels and increase inflammation.
Fibrinogen:
A clotting protein; elevated levels may indicate inflammation, cardiovascular risk, or chronic disease.
Ferritin:
Iron storage protein; high levels can signal inflammation, while low levels may indicate deficiency or anemia.
Complement C3 & C4:
Part of the immune system’s complement cascade; abnormal levels may indicate autoimmune activity or chronic infection.
Immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, IgM):
Assess immune function and possible chronic infections, allergies, or immune deficiencies.
ANA (Antinuclear Antibody):
Screens for autoimmune conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and more.
Interleukin-6 (IL-6):
A pro-inflammatory cytokine elevated in chronic inflammation, infections, and autoimmune diseases.
Interleukin-10 (IL-10):
An anti-inflammatory cytokine that helps regulate the immune response. Low levels can indicate chronic inflammation.
TNF-Alpha (Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha):
A key inflammatory cytokine involved in pain, fatigue, and immune dysfunction.
Vitamin D (25-OH D):
Essential for immune health and inflammation regulation. Deficiency is linked to autoimmunity, infections, and mood issues.
This panel gives us a comprehensive map of how your immune system is functioning—and where we need to focus for healing.
Why This Panel Matters
Chronic inflammation is called a “silent killer” because it can contribute to:
Heart disease
Diabetes and metabolic syndrome
Autoimmune diseases (like Hashimoto’s, lupus, RA)
Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia
Cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s
Mood disorders like anxiety and depression
Digestive issues like IBS and IBD
By identifying early signs of inflammation and immune dysfunction, we can help you:
Reduce your risk of chronic disease
Alleviate persistent symptoms
Support immune balance
Optimize energy, mood, and resilience
This panel is ideal for anyone who:
Has unexplained symptoms that haven't resolved with conventional care
Struggles with fatigue, pain, or brain fog
Has a family history of autoimmune disease or heart disease
Wants to take a preventive, proactive approach to health
Is on a healing journey from chronic infections, mold exposure, or toxin overload
The Inflammation & Immune Marker Panel is covered by Commercial Insurances and Medicare. If you do not have insurance we use a 3rd party service and the prices start at $125. We’ll guide you through the options during your consultation.
Note: We also accept HSA/FSA payments for functional testing!
