Inflammation Cytokine Profiling

Meaning

Inflammation Cytokine Profiling is the advanced diagnostic practice of quantitatively measuring the concentrations of various small protein signaling molecules, known as cytokines, to assess the body’s overall inflammatory status and immune balance. This clinical assessment includes pro-inflammatory cytokines like Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α), as well as anti-inflammatory mediators. The resulting profile provides a granular, systemic view of chronic low-grade inflammation, a primary driver of age-related disease and hormonal dysregulation. This detailed analysis guides targeted anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory interventions.
