Inflammatory Biomarkers

Meaning

Inflammatory biomarkers are quantifiable biological molecules found in blood or tissues that indicate the presence and intensity of systemic or localized inflammation. These markers, which include proteins, peptides, and cellular components, serve as objective measures of the body’s immune response and are clinically used to diagnose inflammatory conditions, assess disease activity, and monitor therapeutic effectiveness. Common examples include high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and various cytokines.
