C-reactive protein (CRP) is a marker of inflammation in the body. Therefore, its level in the blood increases if there is any inflammation in the body. C-reactive protein, along with other markers of inflammation (erythrocytesedimentation rate, "sed rate," orESR) are also sometimes referred ...
A C-reactive protein (CRP) test is a blood test used to detect generalinflammation. Inflammation is the body's natural response to infection, disease, or injury, so a CRP test can provide the first clue as to whether some sort of inflammatory condition is occurring. A CRP test cannot tell...
The article discusses research being done on C-reactive protein (CRP) blood test. It references a study by physician Steven Woloshin and colleagues published in the 2007 issue of the...
The C-reactive protein (CRP) test measures the amount of CRP in your blood. A type of protein that is associated with inflammation in the body, CRP is measured using a small blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm. Your doctor might order a CRP test if you have symptoms of inflamm...

A C-peptide test measures the amount of C-peptide, a short protein produced by the pancreas, in the blood. Learn how the procedure and results can help to manage diabetes.
C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a protein found in the blood, the levels of which rise in response to inflammation. It is one of several proteins rapidly produced by the liver during an inflammatory response. Its primary goal is thought to be to coat damaged cells to make them easier to reco...
CRP, or C-reactive protein, is a test that's been available actually for almost a decade now. It's a marker of inflammation, and many feel that coronary artery disease is in and of itself a disease of inflammation. There is a great deal of information th
Induction of leptin resistance through direct interaction of C-reactive protein with leptin. The mechanisms underlying leptin resistance are still being defined. We report here the presence in human blood of several serum leptin-interacting protein......
