Angiogenic Factor Assessment

Meaning

Angiogenic Factor Assessment is a clinical diagnostic process that involves the quantitative measurement of specific growth factors and cytokines that regulate the formation of new blood vessels, a process termed angiogenesis. This analysis provides a biochemical snapshot of a patient’s vascular remodeling capacity and potential pathological states, such as chronic inflammation or tumor growth. The resulting biomarker profile helps clinicians evaluate the delicate balance between pro-angiogenic and anti-angiogenic signals in the circulation.
