The liver releases small amounts of C-reactive protein (CRP) to fight infections and inflammation. However, high C-reactive protein levels indicate significant inflammation caused by a health ...

Blood tests are one way to understand what’s happening in our bodies, and one such indicator is the C-reactive protein (CRP). Produced by the liver, CRP levels rise when there is inflammation inside ...

Serum C-reactive protein is being investigated as a biomarker to predict adalimumab response in hidradenitis suppurativa patients. Elevated baseline C-reactive protein levels correlate with a reduced ...

Compared with patients in the lowest CRP quartile, those in the highest quartile have increased odds of kidney stones. Elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a nonspecific inflammatory marker, ...

Overall survival, cancer-specific survival and progression-free survival were all negatively affected by elevated C-reactive protein levels, this study found. A new meta-analysis supports the idea ...

Type 1 diabetes is now accepted to be a chronic immunoinflammatory disorder. Because it is a disease of inflammation both of the innate and adaptive immune systems it is perhaps not surprising that ...

Researchers have known for quite some time that elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels increase the risk for cardiovascular disease. A recent study published in The New England Journal of Medicine ...

The biological function of the C-reactive protein, CRP, has long been unknown. Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden now show that this protein has a beneficial function in systemic lupus ...

C-reactive protein (CRP) flags body-wide inflammation, from infections, or poor habits. High CRP over 3 mg/L doubles early ...

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a widely used biomarker for sepsis evaluation in newborns. However, although it has a high negative predictive value, its optimal cut-off levels during the first few days ...
