Inflammatory State Indicator

Meaning

An inflammatory state indicator is a quantifiable biochemical or physiological marker that reflects the systemic level of inflammation or immune activation within the body. These indicators serve as objective measures of the underlying inflammatory burden, which is a key driver of chronic diseases and accelerated biological aging. Clinically significant indicators include high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and certain white blood cell profiles. Monitoring these metrics is essential for proactive health management and assessing the efficacy of anti-inflammatory interventions.
