Inflammation tests measure the body's general immune activation rather than any one organ. High-sensitivity CRP is the most widely used and is tightly linked to cardiovascular risk; sedimentation rate, interleukin-6 and GlycA add different windows on the same process. People order these to track recovery from hard training or illness, to investigate persistent fatigue or joint pain, or to see whether a diet, sleep or body-composition change lowered their baseline inflammation.
