Systemic Inflammatory Markers

Meaning

Systemic inflammatory markers are measurable biochemical substances in the blood that indicate the presence and magnitude of low-grade, chronic inflammation throughout the body. These markers, such as high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) and various cytokines, are crucial clinical indicators of metabolic and hormonal dysfunction, even in the absence of acute infection. Elevated levels signify a persistent threat to cellular and endocrine health.
