Endometriosis Biomarkers

Meaning

Endometriosis biomarkers are measurable biological characteristics found in blood, urine, or tissue that indicate the presence, severity, or progression of endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition. These markers, which may include specific proteins, microRNAs, or gene expression patterns, are sought to provide a non-surgical diagnostic tool for a condition currently requiring laparoscopic confirmation. Identifying reliable biomarkers could significantly reduce the diagnostic delay and invasiveness associated with this gynecological endocrine disorder.
