SAA is an acute-phase protein that can increase up to 1000-fold in response to inflammation, infection, or tissue injury. It is associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and plays a role in HDL metabolism during inflammation. Like C-reactive protein (CRP), SAA is valuable for diagnosing and monitoring inflammatory conditions, but it is often more sensitive in detecting viral infections, renal transplant rejection, and inflammation in patients on immunosuppressive or corticosteroid therapy. It is also strongly linked to disease activity in inflammatory arthritis. Combined measurement of SAA and CRP enhances diagnostic accuracy for infections. For patients with AA amyloidosis, reducing SAA levels can improve outcomes. Common detection methods include turbidimetry, immunofluorescence, colloidal gold, and chemiluminescence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enlight","offers":[{"title":"12 TESTS","offer_id":52728596857131,"sku":null,"price":7938.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false},{"title":"24 TESTS","offer_id":52728596889899,"sku":null,"price":15804.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1827\/3323\/files\/SAA-01.jpg?v=1772690038"},{"product_id":"c-reactive-protein-crp","title":"C-Reactive Protein (CRP)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis assay is used for the quantitative determination of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) in human serum, plasma, and whole blood. CRP is a highly sensitive acute-phase protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation, consisting of five identical subunits forming a ring structure. In healthy individuals, CRP levels are typically below 8 mg\/L, but during acute inflammation, levels rise rapidly within 6–12 hours and peak within 24–48 hours. Values above 100 mg\/L often indicate severe infections or trauma, while the response may be reduced in liver disease. CRP testing helps detect inflammation, monitor infections and treatment response, identify complications after surgery, and differentiate between active and inactive disease states.

IL-6 is a multifunctional cytokine involved in immune responses, first identified under various names before being universally named IL-6 in 1988. It affects B-cells, T-cells, stem cells, hepatocytes, and brain cells. IL-6 is produced rapidly during acute inflammation caused by trauma, infection, stress, or injury, and elevated levels may help predict complications or missed injuries in trauma patients. In ICU settings, IL-6 levels are useful for assessing the severity and progression of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), sepsis, and septic shock, as well as predicting patient outcomes. It is also a valuable early marker for neonatal sepsis and plays a role in chronic inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enlight","offers":[{"title":"12 TESTS","offer_id":52728579785003,"sku":null,"price":10404.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 TESTS","offer_id":52728579817771,"sku":null,"price":18324.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1827\/3323\/files\/IL-6_-_01.jpg?v=1772693052"},{"product_id":"procalcitonin-pct","title":"Procalcitonin (PCT)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis assay is used for the quantitative determination of Procalcitonin (PCT) in human serum and plasma.

It exists as a soluble component in the pulmonary epithelial lining fluid, resulting from proteolytic cleavage. The elevated KL-6 serum concentration is mainly the result of two mechanisms: The elevated pulmonary production is due to diffuse hyperplasia of alveolar epithelial cells (AEC), also known as pneumocytes. The increase in spillover to the systemic circulation is caused by leakage of the alveolo-capillary membrane. Over 350 papers have been published on the clinical significance of KL-6 in various types of interstitial lung disease (ILDs), indicating that KL-6 serum levels are a valuable tool for detecting the presence of AEC injury, evaluating disease activity, and predicting clinical outcomes in various types of ILDs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enlight","offers":[{"title":"12 TESTS","offer_id":52728503402795,"sku":null,"price":14184.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 TESTS","offer_id":52728503435563,"sku":null,"price":25344.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1827\/3323\/files\/KL-6-01.jpg?v=1772694368"},{"product_id":"heparin-binding-protein-hbp","title":"Heparin-binding protein (HBP)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis assay is intended for the quantitative determination of Heparin Binding Protein (HBP) in human plasma.

Initially studied for its antimicrobial properties, HBP is now recognized for its key role in inflammation. It is released from activated neutrophils upon contact with the endothelium, increasing vascular permeability and protecting endothelial cells from apoptosis. HBP is also secreted during bacterial infections and phagocytosis, where it helps recruit and activate immune cells. Due to its role in promoting inflammation, HBP is considered a potential biomarker for identifying patients at risk of developing sepsis with circulatory failure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enlight","offers":[{"title":"12 TEST","offer_id":52686902919467,"sku":null,"price":7938.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false},{"title":"24 TEST","offer_id":52686902952235,"sku":null,"price":15804.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1827\/3323\/files\/HBP-01.jpg?v=1772695299"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1827\/3323\/collections\/Inflammation.jpg?v=1772685710","url":"https:\/\/shop.encorebiomedicals.com\/collections\/inflammation.oembed","provider":"Encore Biomedicals ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
