Inflammation Thread Runs across Medical Laboratory Specialities

Figure 4

Analyses from different sections of the medical laboratory must be pulled together to establish evidence for inflammation. Similar to the display in Figure 2, the 4 major specialities, clinical chemistry, haematology, immunology, and microbiology, each encompass a whole array of inflammation markers. Networking across lab specialities obtrudes to pin down inflammatory disturbance. Complement analytics placed in the “immunology” box. Red bars connect strong evidence, while orange bars show medium evidence for denoted disease states. The insinuated disease states are placed arbitrarily.
