The C-reactive protein

The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1999
C-reactive protein (CRP) was identified in 1930 and was subsequently considered to be an "acute phase protein," an early indicator of infectious or inflammatory conditions. Since its discovery, CRP has been studied as a screening device for inflammation, a marker for disease activity, and as a diagnostic adjunct.

C-Reactive Protein and Operation

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1966
The occurrence of C-reactive protein (CRP) was studied after 167 otolaryngological operations. CRP appeared in blood serum of patients in 113 cases out of 167. In the case of tonsillectomies the incidence of positive tests for CRP was the highest, 47 out of 51.

C-Reactive Protein in Measles

Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 1992
Seventy-two children with early measles (1st-3rd day of rash), presenting at two centres in Santiago, Chile, were classified as having mild ('ordinary measles', n = 50), or moderate to severe measles ('primarily severe measles', n = 22). The level of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) was determined by nephelometry from a finger prick sample.

C-Reactive Protein in Pediatrics

Advances in Pediatrics, 1983
CRP levels have been found to be helpful in differential diagnosis and in following the clinical course and response to treatment of various disorders. Of particular interest is their value in the diagnosis of serious bacterial infections in neonates, such as meningitis, septicemia, and osteomyelitis.

C-reactive protein in dogs

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1987
SUMMARY Serum concentrations of C-reactive protein (crp) in dogs with various diseases or undergoing various procedures were measured by specific immunoassay. In 20 healthy dogs from various sources, values were all < 5 mg/L, but in 22 healthy dogs from a single source, values ranged from < 5 mg/L in 14 dogs and from 8 to 67 mg/L in 8 dogs ...

C-reactive protein and Hypertension

Journal of Human Hypertension, 2013
C-reactive protein (CRP), the prototypical acute-phase reactant, is one of the most widely known biomarkers of cardiovascular disease. Circulating levels of CRP are clinically used to predict the occurrence of cardiovascular events and to aide in the selection of therapies based on more accurate risk assessment in individuals who are at intermediate ...

Fetal C-reactive protein

Early Human Development, 1993
C-reactive protein (CRP) was measured in fetal blood obtained by cordocentesis from 17 patients with preterm prelabour rupture of the membranes (PPROM). CRP was detected in the blood of eight of the 17 fetuses. Six fetuses, five of whom may have been infected had CRP > or = 0.8 mg dl-1.

C-Reactive Protein and High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein: An Update for Clinicians

Postgraduate Medicine, 2011
The measurement of C-reactive protein (CRP) using both standard and high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) assays is becoming common in clinical practice. This article addresses the causes of CRP elevation and the use of different CRP assays in internal medicine, including cardiology, gastroenterology, rheumatology, infectious diseases, and oncology.
