C-reactive protein(CRP):A protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. High levels of CRP often indicateatherosclerosis—the buildup of cholesterolplaquein arterial walls.5 Homocysteine:Too muchhomocysteine, an amino acid, raises your risk of heart attack or stroke. This test is oft...
Meaning A diagnostic blood test based on measurement of small numbers of host gene transcripts might enable early discrimination of Kawasaki disease from other infectious and inflammatory conditions. Abstract Importance To date, there is no diagnostic test for Kawasaki disease (KD). Diagnosis is based...

Additionally, out of 41 patients with normal plasma fibrinogen levels, 22 had active lesions and 19 did not. Meaning that while a total of 37 patients had active lesions on MRI, only 15 had elevated fibrinogen levels in plasma (p = 0.03). In spite of high specificity (95%) the test ...

ROC analyses demonstrated that the whole blood MxA level was more reliable for identifying viral infection than the WBC count or serum CRP concentrations. These data are consistent with other studies that have demonstrated the limitations of these variables for distinguishing between viral and bacterial...
our primary hypothesis was that low maternal folate and vitamin D status and increased levels of markers of inflammation and immune activation such as C-reactive protein (CRP), neopterin, and a higher kynurenine-tryptophan ratio (KTR) might be associated with increased risk of ASD in the offsprin...
There was no significant change in C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. In our previous trial with 200 mg NAM, there was a trend of a decrease in blood triglyceride levels [20]. However, we did not see a significant change in triglyceride levels after either of higher or lower dose in this...
test to explore potential differences according to FACED and EFACED scores between the two groups, a neutrophil count of 4990 cells/µL yielded the most balanced cluster sizes: (1) above-threshold (n= 337) and (2) below-threshold (n= 697) groups. Patients above the threshold showed ...
