GDF-15: Clinical interpretation of systemic biological stress
A practical session to understand when to request it, how to read it, and how to integrate it into your practice
It is increasingly common to find patients with fatigue, low energy, or persistent symptoms, but without clear alterations in conventional lab tests. The challenge is not just to rule out disease. It is to understand what it is costing the body to function and maintain balance.
From the bioenergetic paradigm, processes such as chronic fatigue, low-grade inflammation, metabolic disorders, or aging can be addressed under a common framework: sustained biological stress.
Access the webinar recording with Néstor Sánchez and Pau Oller, and discover how GDF-15 can provide complementary information on cellular stress, chronic inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and mitochondrial signaling.
GDF-15 is increasingly being positioned as a biomarker of interest for assessing the body’s biological load in contexts where classic markers do not always fully explain the clinical picture.
In this webinar, they address how to interpret this marker from a clinical perspective, its relationship with systemic biological stress, and its potential utility as a support in patient assessment.
A session aimed at professionals looking to expand the analytical context in areas such as metabolism, inflammation, mitochondrial health, and integrative medicine.
Teletest participates as a technical partner of the webinar, facilitating the availability of GDF-15 analysis for clinical application.
When lab tests don’t fully explain the clinical picture
Not everything is explained by stress, age, or lack of rest. In some patients, the body may be functioning in an adaptive state: it reduces energy, prioritizes essential functions, and enters what we know as power-saving mode.
GDF-15 allows for an approach to this functional dimension, providing information on systemic biological stress, metabolic dysfunction, mitochondrial signaling, and overall physiological load.
GDF-15: a signal of biological stress and energy cost
GDF-15 is not limited to assessing a specific organ. It provides information on the state of the body as a whole and the physiological cost of maintaining balance. It can provide value as a:
- Global biological stress sensor
- Indicator of metabolic dysfunction
- Signal related to mitochondrial stress
- Complementary marker of physiological load
GDF-15 now available at Teletest
