Complement proteins are increased in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), as are markers of inflammation, such as the C-reactive protein (CRP); however, both may be increased in obesity. We hypothesised that body mass index (BMI)-driven CRP would compar...
This study aimed to compare the rapid bedside quantitative assessment of C-reactive protein (CRP) in saliva to serum CRP to predict blood culture-positive sepsis in neonates. The research was carried out over eight months at Fernandez Hospital in Ind...
The current literature provides a body of evidence on C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and its potential role in inflammation. However, most pieces of evidence are sparse and controversial. This critical state-of-the-art monography provides all the crucial d...
Hypercholesterolemia is a major cause of atherosclerosis development and premature cardiovascular disease (CVD). It leads to inflammation, which further accelerates atherosclerosis progression. Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal domin...
Acute phase response is a nonspecific reaction to disturbances in homeostasis during which the production of some Acute Phase Proteins (APPs) is stimulated; they are sensitive but nonspecific markers of systemic inflammatory processes. The major posi...
C-reactive protein (CRP), a potent acute-phase reactant that increases rapidly in response to inflammation, tissue damage or infections, is also considered an indicator of the risk of cardiovascular diseases and neurological disorders. Recent advance...
Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia are common in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), to the detriment of the patients’ quality of life. Since ferritin, as an acute-phase protein (APP), has limited diagnostic value in IBD, concurrent asse...
