Inflammation Marker Correlation

Meaning

Inflammation Marker Correlation is the clinical process of analyzing the relationship between specific, quantifiable biomarkers of systemic inflammation and various physiological or pathological states, including hormonal status, metabolic dysfunction, or cognitive decline. This involves measuring key acute-phase reactants, such as high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP), or specific cytokines like Interleukin-6 (IL-6), and establishing their statistical or clinical link to a patient’s health outcomes. The correlation provides critical insight into the role of chronic, low-grade inflammation as a root cause or perpetuating factor in age-related diseases.
