Need some advice, what would they be testing for??

[TINKS82]

I went for another blood test today and one of the things on the sheet is an inflamotary indicator, what would this mean??

It's looking for things in your blood that can indicate a hidden health issue so this might be the clotting factor of your blood or if you have an internal injury there will be certain proteins and molecules in your blood that would indicate it's presence.

I'm sure it would just be routine to make sure your symptoms are due to hidden factors

Just worried me as she didn't mention it and I thought it was just the hormones they were testing.

I think they say it's a hormone test because that requires a specific cycle day and just to keep it simple, but it makes sense them taking the opportunity to use the blood sample to test for anything else that might be related.

I keep on meaning to get my clotting factor checked so i might ask my GP to clarify if i already had it done without knowing
