Measurement of C-reactive protein: Two high sensitivity methods compared

Evaluation of two new high- sensitivity C-reactive protein methods

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein methods examined.

Comparison of Two Methods: Qualitative and Quantitative Study of C - Reactive Protein

Abstract Background and Objective: C - reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase protein produced in liver. It is less than 5 mg per deciliter in the serum and body fluids of normal individuals, but it is increased suddenly within a few hours following inflammatory reaction. In bacterial and viral infections, active rheumatic fever, acute myocardial infarction and rheumatoid arthritis are a...

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...

Steatosis DeLIVERs high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is characterized by excess accumulation of lipids within parenchymal cells of the liver (ie, hepatocellular steatosis) in the absence of excessive ethanol consumption. Fatty liver disease is widely considered to be the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome and is estimated to occur in more than 25% of the Western population.1 Nonalcoholic fatty liver disea...
