Infection &
Inflammation

When you think of inflammation, you likely picture something visible—like a swollen ankle, an insect bite, a cut, or an allergic reaction. These types of inflammation often come with pain, redness, swelling, or itching, making them easy to recognise. However, not all inflammation is visible.

Chronic or “silent” inflammation can persist unnoticed for months or even years, causing gradual damage without obvious symptoms. This hidden inflammation can affect your entire body, potentially signalling an underlying health condition or infection. Over time, it may contribute to serious issues, including damage to the heart, arteries, and blood vessels—even if your cholesterol and triglyceride levels are normal.

Early detection is key. The Infection and Inflammation Test Profile from Fortress Clinical Laboratory can help identify signs of inflammation through a simple blood test. By catching it early, you and your doctor can develop a targeted treatment plan to prevent long-term health complications.
