Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) values of patients infected with Taenia saginata.

Inverse Association of Serum Leptin with Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) in Regular Hemodialysis Patients

Received:October 3, 2005 Accepted:December 20, 2005 ABSTRACT Objective: To elucidate whether and how in patients with uremia on hemodialysis the level of CRP as the marker of inflammation correlate with serum leptin. Patients and Methods: Serum leptin and CRP were determined on patients with ESRD on hemodialysis Results: The total patients were 36 (f =15, m=21). The mean patient's age were 46 (...

Serum C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Target for Therapy or Trouble?

High sensitivity serum C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) has come into clinical use as a marker of risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). In addition to a role as a marker of disease, CRP has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of CVD. Specific small-molecule inhibitors of CRP have recently been developed with the intent of mitigating cardiac damage during acute myocardial infarction. However, t...

Association of C-reactive protein (CRP) gene polymorphisms, serum CRP levels and cervical cancer prognosis.

BACKGROUND C-reactive protein (CRP) is the prototypical biomarker of inflammation. Genetic variations within the CRP gene have been shown to be associated with alterations of CRP expression and prognosis in cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between four polymorphisms of the CRP gene, CRP serum levels, clinicopathological parameters of cervical cancer and...

Serum Adenosine Deaminase Activity and C-Reactive Protein Levels in Patients with Brucellosis

  Background and Objective: Brucellosis is a main transmittable zoonotic disease, which is endemic, and a common health burden in Iran. Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is an essential enzyme which is involved in purine metabolism and its role in immune system is very important. The aim of this study was to determine serum changes of ADA and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in patients with brucellosi...
