Current Developments in Optical and Electrochemical Biosensors for the Identification of Key Inflammatory Biomarkers

Because of age-related risk factors and lifestyle choices, the prevalence of chronic disease is rising quickly around the globe in today’s culture. The social and financial toll that inflammatory illnesses and chronic syndromes have on society in terms of direct and indirect medical expenses is substantial. Over the last 10 years, there have been revisions made to the diagnostic criteria in order to enable prompt identification and treatment of inflammatory disorders. Inflammatory markers have developed into biomarkers for several diseases as diagnostic methods have advanced. In both acute and chronic inflammatory illnesses, measurement of inflammatory markers is commonly employed. Information on the primary inflammatory indicators and techniques for diagnosing them is included in this chapter. In particular, electrochemical and optical biosensors work incredibly well for creating diagnostic inflammatory marker systems. The potential applications of sensory systems in the diagnosis of inflammatory indicators are demonstrated.
