@drjoshredd: C-reactive protein (CRP): Optimal range is 0-3. CRP is a marker of systemic inflammation, and elevated levels may indicate the presence of inflammation in the body. Homocysteine: Optimal range is less than 8. Elevated homocysteine levels have been associated with increased inflammation and can be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Ferritin: Pre-menopause range is 10-122; post-menopause range is 10-263; men range is 33-236. Elevated ferritin levels can indicate inflammation or iron overload. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH): Optimal range is 140-180. LDH is an enzyme found in various tissues. High LDH levels may suggest tissue damage or inflammation, and further testing can help identify the affected tissue. Uric acid: Women's range is 3.2-5.5; men's range is 3.7-6.0. Uric acid levels are associated with acute-phase reactants and can induce hepatic inflammatory molecules. Elevated uric acid levels may indicate inflammation. Monitoring these lab markers can provide valuable information about your inflammatory status. They should be decreasing on your autoimmune protocol. #inflammatorymarkers #inflammation #autoimmune #autoimmunity #autoimmunedisease
