The GDF-15 is a cytokine related to the mechanisms of cellular stress, chronic inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. It is considered a global marker of biological load and the body’s adaptation to damage, especially useful in contexts where classic markers do not fully explain the clinical picture.
Associated Processes:
- Reflects cellular stress and tissue damage, beyond classic inflammation
- Associated with cellular energy dysfunction
- Useful for monitoring, risk stratification, and preventive approach
- Complements other analytical and clinical studies
The determination of GDF-15 provides relevant information in the context of:
- Cardiovascular health: Heart failure; Ischemic heart disease; Cardiovascular risk stratification and prognosis
- Integrative medicine: systemic inflammatory stress; mitochondrial dysfunction; low metabolic stress tolerance; accelerated biological aging
- Metabolic health: insulin resistance; Type 2 Diabetes; Visceral obesity
The result of this marker allows for the assessment of the degree of metabolic, inflammatory, or systemic stress, always integrated with clinical data and other analytical parameters.
