Systemic Inflammation Quantification

Meaning

Systemic Inflammation Quantification is the clinical process of objectively measuring the level of chronic, low-grade, generalized inflammatory activity present throughout the body, often without overt symptoms of acute infection. This is achieved by assessing circulating biomarkers, such as high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and fibrinogen. Quantifying this subclinical inflammation is crucial because it is a foundational driver of numerous age-related diseases and hormonal dysregulation.
