A member asked:

I think my liver, heart and kindneys are inflamed because of psoriasis and psa. what tests can be done to monitor liver, heart & kidney inflammation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

ESR and CRP: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, ESR or Sed rate and C-reactive protein are general markers of inflammation. If both are elevated, either one can be used for follow-up to assess the effects of treatment.
