Measuring Inflammation Levels

Inflammation has been studied by doctors since the time of the Greeks, but those early observations were for the more severe forms that cause obvious symptoms like redness, fever, pain and swelling.

With the invention of the microscope, scientists discovered white blood cells, and saw that they went up during fever and injury, but then came back down when the illness was over. From this information they identified a ‘normal range’ where the white blood cell (WBC) count of most apparently healthy people resided.

Beginning in the mid-1980s however, pioneering scientists initiated a process that is defining a new normal range for the WBC count. Early reports have linked values that are chronically in the upper half of the ‘old normal’ range with increased risk ofReading on 10 February and had to be substituted. The injury was set to rule Bianchi out for the rest of the 2014/15 season, with Bianchi requiring knee surgery after suffering medial ligament damage.

Bianchi picked up another knee injury against Eintracht Frankfurt in a 2–1 pre season friendly defeat on 21 July 2015. The injury required knee cartilage surgery and ruled Bianchi out of the beginning of the 2015/16 season for Leeds.
