Maternal Serum C- Reactive Protein Concentration in Gestational Diabetes
OBJECTIVE: Low-grade systemic inflammation is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. C-Reactive Protein (CRP), an acute phase protein produced by hepatocytes, may be associated with diabetes. This study aimed to compare serum levels of CRP in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), impaired glucose tolerance test and control subjects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this ca...
متن کاملSerum C-reactive protein predicts early mortality in hospitalized patients with HBV-related decompensated cirrhosis
The serum C-reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammatory marker. The aim of the present study was to elucidate whether CRP could serve as a potential surrogate marker for 30-day mortality in hospitalized patients with HBV-related decompensated cirrhosis (HBV-DeCi).This was a retrospective cohort study that included 140 patients with HBV-DeCi. All patients were followed up for 1-month. A panel of c...
متن کاملSerum C reactive protein in infective endocarditis.
C reactive protein (CRP) was measured serially in 29 patients with infective endocarditis. Twenty one patients were initially treated with antimicrobial drugs. In 13, serial measurement of CRP concentrations showed a progressive return to normal (less than 10 mg/l), which correlated with a satisfactory recovery. Of the remainder (eight patients), five had persistently high concentrations of CRP...
متن کاملC-reactive protein and bacterial infection in cirrhosis
In the general population, C-reactive protein (CRP) level increases in the presence of acute or chronic inflammation and infections. In patients with cirrhosis, the basal level is higher than in patients without cirrhosis, due to chronic hepatic and other inflammation, but when infection occurs the more severe the underlying liver dysfunction, the lower the increase in CRP. Therefore, the predi...
متن کاملSuture Granuloma Showing False-Positive Findings on FDG-PET
We report a case of a 33-year-old male with a mixed germ-cell testicular tumor. Postoperative follow-up FDG-PET revealed concentration of FDG in the left inguinal area which is not tumor metastasis or local recurrence but suture reactivity granuloma. In this paper, we reviewed suture granulomas associated with false-positive findings on FDG-PET after surgery. If FDG-PET will be used more freque...
