Tulehdusmerkintöjä

Tulehdusmerkintöjä, or inflammation markers, are substances produced by the body in response to inflammation. They play a crucial role in the body's immune response to infection, injury, or other stimuli. Common inflammation markers include C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and various cytokines. These markers are often measured in blood tests to assess the presence and severity of inflammation in the body. Elevated levels of inflammation markers can indicate an ongoing inflammatory process, which may be associated with various health conditions such as infections, autoimmune diseases, or chronic illnesses. Monitoring inflammation markers can help healthcare professionals diagnose and manage these conditions effectively. However, it is essential to note that inflammation markers alone do not provide a definitive diagnosis and should be interpreted in the context of the patient's overall health and clinical presentation.
