>Can the blood tests assess inflammation?As far as I know, your SED rate is an inflammation marker. That's one of the things doctors always tested me with for my UC. Pour Dieu, pour terre,Alyssa =D

Hi ,

Have your doc order a CBC and Chem panel.

CRP, ESR (SED rate), Ferritin (storage form of Iron, it reads as a false high

when inflammation is present)...

Total Iron panel.

You should be good with all of those.
