What is the Origin of Inflammation Marker Assessment?

The concept originates from clinical pathology and immunology, where the measurement of acute-phase reactants has long been used to diagnose and monitor infectious or autoimmune conditions. In the context of preventative health, the focus has shifted to assessing low-grade, chronic systemic inflammation, which profoundly impacts metabolic and endocrine health.

What is the Mechanism of Inflammation Marker Assessment?

When tissue damage or chronic stress occurs, immune cells release signaling molecules called cytokines, which stimulate the liver to produce acute-phase proteins, such as high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP). Elevated levels of these markers, even within the "normal" range, indicate an active inflammatory state that can drive insulin resistance, impair thyroid hormone conversion, and increase cortisol demand, directly disrupting the delicate endocrine balance and accelerating biological aging.

Inflammation Marker Assessment

Meaning

Inflammation Marker Assessment is the clinical and laboratory evaluation of specific biochemical substances in the blood or other biological fluids that serve as measurable indicators of systemic inflammatory activity. These markers, which often include C-Reactive Protein (CRP), homocysteine, and various cytokines, provide objective data on the body’s inflammatory burden, a critical factor in the pathogenesis of chronic diseases and hormonal dysregulation. Regular assessment allows for the proactive monitoring and management of subclinical inflammation within a wellness framework.
