Fluid-Based Biomarkers

Meaning

Fluid-Based Biomarkers are measurable biological molecules, cellular components, or characteristics found within readily accessible bodily fluids, such as blood plasma, saliva, urine, or cerebrospinal fluid, that objectively indicate a physiological state, a pathological process, or a pharmacological response. These circulating indicators provide a non-invasive or minimally invasive window into the systemic health and functional status of distant organs and tissues. They are indispensable tools in clinical endocrinology for early diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring the efficacy of therapeutic interventions.
