| Organ | Lung | Test Sample / Technology Platform | Serum (cytokine detection technology) | ||
| Pathobiological Mechanisms | Pleiotropic cytokines, synthesized by macrophages, monocytes and endothelial cells, are rapidly released after pathogen stimulation, earlier than the increase of CRP and PCT, initiate acute phase response, regulate immune cell activation, and participate in inflammatory amplification and tissue repair | ||||
| Clinical Availability Status | Clinically validated: Early "warning signs" of inflammation for condition assessment | ||||
| Notes and Dynamics | It can reflect the intensity of inflammation initiation and assist in early diagnosis and severity judgment | ||||
