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 ...
C-reactive proteinsurgical site infectionAims: Infection is one of the most serious complications of joint replacement surgeries. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) serum levels are widely used for the evaluation of acute infections after joint replacement surgeries. The...
C-reactive protein: < 0.5 mg/dL D-dimer: ≤ 300 ng/mL (300 µg/L) Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR): Females 0-20 mm/h; Males 0-15 mm/h Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH): 60-160 U/L Lead: < 40 µg/dL Rheumatoid factor: < 40 U/mL What to Read Next on Medscape...
This study was undertaken to investigate whether the level of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the serum of dogs undergoes physiological variation, using 10 normal Beagle dogs (5 males and 5 females), 1–2 years old, maintained in a healthy condition in a controlled environment. The CRP concentrat...

Many febrile patients have markedly elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and normal white blood cell (WBC) counts. Most of these patients have bacterial infection and no previous underlying disease of impaired WBC functioning. We reviewed patients who visited our ED between November 2003 and ...
1: Body mass index; 2: gamma-Glutamyltranerase; 3:C-reactive protein; 4: standard deviation. Figure 4. ROC curves of the logistic regression models generated from non-invasive markers. The models generated from serum markers and BMI (see table 3 for list) were able to predict ...
Elevated trunk fat levels were also associated with metabolic dysregulation and inflammation characterized by increased blood levels of insulin, triglycerides, leptin, C-reactive protein, and interleukin 6. Collectively, these findings indicate the inadequacy of normal BMI categorization for determining the ...
The currently used reference range for peripheral total leukocyte count is wide (4.5–11.0 × 109/L) and is associated with a low sensitivity in identifying non-infectious chronic diseases. We attempt to revise it based on a normal serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level. Methods Study subjects ...
C-reactive protein (CRP) is anacute phase proteinupregulated during ongoing inflammation and infections (Wu et al., 2015). Recent studies proposed that CRP could be used as marker of disease in asthma (Takemura et al., 2006). We then asked if CRP would correlate with RANTES. Here we fou...
