A doctor has provided 1 answer

Inflammatory markers: There are multiple blood tests that test for inflammation, which means that they go up when there is inflammation (like fever, infection, stress) in the body. Sometimes one marker goes up higher than the other, or goes up before other markers do, which may explain the difference in the levels.
