INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to examine the associations of elevated serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) with change in muscle strength in patients with established knee osteoarthritis (OA), at 2 years. METHODS Data from 186 patients with knee OA were gathered at baseline and at 2-year follow-up. CRP (in milligrams per liter) and ESR (in millimete...

background: the amount of literature concerning the implication of the red cell distribution width (rdw) in the assessment of ulcerative colitis (uc) activity is rather limited. the aim of this study is to investigate the potential role of rdw in the evaluation of uc disease activity. materials and methods: a total of 96 patients with uc and 51 age and sex-matched healthy volunteers were includ...

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and the serum acute-phase proteins (APP), C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, 9th component of complement (C9), and alpha, antitrypsin were measured on 231 occasions in 80 patients with ankylosing spondylitis and compared with those in 30 controls. APP levels did not correlate with clinical assessment of disease activity. However, there were significan...

Early diagnosis of neonatal septicemia is difficult due to lack of specific clinical and laboratory findings. Blood culture is considered gold standard for the diagnosis, but is very time consuming. Hence most of the paediatricians administer antibiotics at the least suspicion of sepsis. To overcome this, several rapid haematological tests have been evaluated for their usefulness in rapid diagn...

The present study aimed to investigate faecal calprotectin as a diagnostic marker to differentiate between patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). A total of 20 healthy control subjects, 26 patients with IBS and 58 patients with IBD, including 22 with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 36 with Crohn's disease (CD), were recruited for the present st...

Differentiating sepsis from other noninfectious causes of systemic inflammation is often difficult in the elderly. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of C-reactive protein (CRP), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), procalcitonin (PCT), and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) to identify elderly patients with sepsis. In this single center prospective observational study, we included all consec...

OBJECTIVE C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) are often utilized to evaluate for postoperative infection. Abnormal values may be detected after surgery even in case of non-infection because of muscle injury, transfusion, which disturbed prompt perioperative management. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the perioperative CRP, ESR, and white blood...
