Serum C-reactive protein level does not correlate with Crohn’s Disease Activity Index

High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein does not Correlate with IL-6 in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) is an acute phase reactant synthesized primarily by liver after stimulation by various cytokines including IL-6 (Interleukin6). Hence, levels are elevated in various inflammatory diseases, including CKD (chronic kidney disease) especially in patients on hemodialysis [1]. IL-6 is a 26 kDa protein produced by the Kupffer cells of liver in response to in...

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...

value of computerized tomography enterography in predicting crohn’s disease activity: correlation with crohn’s disease activity index and c-reactive protein

conclusion most cte findings correlated with cdai and crp in patients with active crohn’s disease. background the accurate evaluation of crohn’s disease activity is important for the treatment of the disease and for monitoring the response. computerized tomography (ct) enterography is a useful imaging modality that reflects enteric inflammation, as well as extramural complications. objectives t...

Human C-Reactive Protein Does Not Protect

Serum levels of autoantibodies against C-reactive protein correlate with renal disease activity and response to therapy in lupus nephritis

INTRODUCTION Serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) seldom reflect disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We have previously shown that autoantibodies against neo-epitopes of CRP often occur in SLE, but that this does not explain the modest CRP response seen in flares. However, we have repeatedly found that anti-CRP levels parallel lupus disease activity, with highest levels ...
