Determination of C-Reactive Protein: Comparison of Three High-Sensitivity Immunoassays

Determination of C-reactive protein: comparison of three high-sensitivity immunoassays.

Comparison of two automated quantitative immunoassays for the determination of C reactive protein concentrations.

Two quantitative, automated methods for the determination of C reactive protein (CRP) were compared: turbidimetry (Cobas Fara II, Roche, Welwyn Garden City, UK) and fluorescence polarisation TDx, Abbott, Wokingham, UK). One hundred and twenty routine serum samples submitted for measurement of CRP were tested using both procedures. The results were compared using regression line analysis and sho...

The Effect of Resistance Training on Levels of Interlukine-6 and High-Sensitivity C - reactive protein in Older-Aged Women

Introduction: Aging is associated with elevated levels of some proinflammatory factors and exercise is a non-invasive intervention to improve immune function among older adults .The aim of the study was to compare resistance training effects on interlukine-6 (IL-6) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in older-aged women. Methods: The study was quasi-experimental and for...

High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Cancer

BACKGROUND High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a commonly used inflammatory marker. The association between hs-CRP and cancer is less consistent than that between hs-CRP and cardiovascular diseases. This study explored the association between hs-CRP and cancer, using a large database of Korean health examination records. METHODS A total of 80,781 Koreans who visited the health pro...
