ANS: C
Common laboratory tests for inflammation measure levels of acute phase reactants. An increase in fibrinogen is associated with an increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, which is considered a good indicator of an acute inflammatory response. An elevated sedimentation rate is not asso-ciated with anemia, infection, or an electrolyte imbalance.
