High c-reactive protein levels may predict a higher risk for cardiovascular disease alone or in combination with these other known predictors. Some studies have suggested an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease associated with elevated c-reactive protein levels even after correcting for the other ri...

The test measures the amount of CRP in your blood. CRP levels can reflect the presence and severity of inflammation in your body. CRP is a protein produced by the liver. When bacteria or other cellular invaders threaten the body, the liver releases CRP into the bloodstream to help organize ...

Patients with Legionella pneumophila pneumonia had higher C-reactive protein levels than those with pneumonia of any other aetiology, independently of severity of infection. Being a cheap and readily available test, C-reactive protein may be a useful adjunctive procedure in the diagnosis of community-...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate levels of C-reactive protein (CRPpf), glucose (Gpf) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) of pleural effusions in patients with empyema (E) (n=18), complicated parapneumonic effusions (CPPE) (n=27) and uncomplicated parapneumonic effusions (UPPEs)...

elderly womenC-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase reactant that is frequently used as a systemic marker of inflammation. Since proinflammatory cytokines stimulate osteoclastic bone resorption and inhibit osteoblast functions, Pasco et al. hypothesized that CRP levels in elderly women might ...
