This review demonstrates the potential of inflammatory biomarkers to predict suicidal behavior, suggesting new avenues for assessment.

The central aim is to evaluate the role of inflammatory biomarkers in assessing suicidal behaviors linked to major depressive disorder.
Review of studies focusing on inflammatory biomarkers and suicidal behavior.
Discussion of acute phase proteins, hematological indices, and cytokines related to suicidality.
Assessment of the relationship between immune responses and suicidal ideation or attempts.
Increased levels of CRP, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β are reported in individuals exhibiting suicidal behaviors.
Decreased levels of IL-4 and IL-10 were observed, indicating immune system imbalance.
Hematological indices like NLR, PLR, MLR, SII, and NAR may serve as accessible indicators for suicide risk.

Lewandowska et al. (2026) studied this question.
