Soluble Triggering Receptors on Myeloid Cells‐1 Could Be a Potential Biomarker for Disease Activity in Familial Mediterranean Fever

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 39, Issue 8, April 2025.
FMF is a common autoinflammatory disease, yet reliable biomarkers for distinguishing between attack and attack‐free periods remain limited. Our research demonstrates that sTREM‐1 levels are significantly elevated during FMF attacks compared with both attack‐free and control groups, suggesting its potential as a marker of inflammatory activity ...
