Objective:
To provide an overview of studied cellular and noncellular blood-derived asthma biomarkers.
Data Sources:
PubMed literature review.
Study Selections:
Articles discussing cellular and noncellular bloodborne asthma biomarkers.
Results:
Discussed asthma biomarkers include peripheral blood cell counts of T cells, fibrocytes, or granulocytes, as well as levels of cytokines, periostin, IgE, and lipid mediators with or without stimulation. Moreover, this article summarizes the association of various blood biomarkers with the type of airway inflammation, presence of atopy, and dominance of specific T-cell subsets and associated pathways in asthma. Furthermore, biomarkers are here listed according to their proposed clinical use, such as diagnosis, disease phenotyping, classification of severity, assessment of disease control, and monitoring of and predicting treatment response.
Conclusion:
Further research on asthma biomarkers may improve asthma endotyping and ultimately lead to personalized treatment.

Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification
Additionally, environmental and genetic factors play crucial roles in determining an individual's susceptibility to asthma and the severity of their condition.
Critical processes in asthma pathophysiology include:
Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
