When the alarm won't switch off.
Short bursts of inflammation help you heal. Low-grade inflammation that lingers is different, and it's linked to heart, metabolic and joint health. We measure it, look for the drivers and build a plan.

What is inflammation and immunity care at GoodBloods?
Inflammation and immunity care at GoodBloods measures markers of low-grade inflammation, such as hs-CRP, alongside a full blood count, iron and vitamin D. A doctor looks for the drivers, including sleep, stress, weight, training load and diet, and builds a plan, referring you to a specialist if anything needs a closer look.

Questions about inflammation and immunity
What is low-grade inflammation?
A mild, ongoing activation of the immune system. It doesn't feel like an infection, but over time it is linked to heart, metabolic and joint problems.
What is hs-CRP?
A sensitive blood marker of inflammation. It adds context to heart and metabolic risk when read with your other results.
Why do I keep getting sick?
Sleep, stress, low iron or vitamin D and a busy life can all play a part. Your doctor can check the testable ones and refer you if anything else needs investigating.
Is a raised CRP serious?
It depends on the level and the context. A recent cold or a hard workout can raise it, so your doctor may retest before drawing conclusions.
