Acute phase reaction and acute phase proteins

acute phase proteins efficacy in differential diagnosis

introduction: evaluating patient with acute scrotum is based on medical history (e.g. age), physical examination, blood tests, urine analysis and imaging studies. differential diagnosis may be difficult. efficacy of serum acute phase proteins in patients with acute scrotum was assessed in this study. materials and methods : 45 patients were recruited and allocated within three sub-groups; acute...

Acute Phase Proteins – Regulation

Acute-phase Proteins

The discovery of large amounts of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the serum of patients during the acute phase of pneumococcal pneumonia in 1930 focused interest on the plasma protein changes that accompany inflammatory states. CRP and other plasma proteins whose concentrations rose significantly under such circumstances were accordingly referred to as acute-phase proteins (APP). The subsequent rea...
