Inflammatory Biomarkers in Childhood Arterial Ischemic Stroke: Correlates of Stroke Cause and Recurrence. [PDF]

, 2016
Background and purposeAmong children with arterial ischemic stroke (AIS), those with arteriopathy have the highest recurrence risk. We hypothesized that arteriopathy progression is an inflammatory process and that inflammatory biomarkers would predict ...

Agreement between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and C-reactive protein assays

European Heart Journal, 2021
Abstract Background High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a biomarker used for risk prediction for cardiovascular disease (CVD) by assessing low concentrations of inflammatory markers. Measurements of regular CRP assays have become very sensitive too with a detection limit of 0.03mg/dL ...

Effects of weight loss and long-term weight maintenance with diets varying in protein and glycemic index on cardiovascular risk factors: the diet, obesity, and genes (DiOGenes) study: a randomized, controlled trial [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: We sought to separately examine the effects of either weight loss or diets varying in protein content and glycemic index without further changes in body weight on cardiovascular risk factors within the Diet, Obesity, and Genes study ...

Comparison of C-reactive protein and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels in patients on hemodialysis

Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2012
Chronic inflammation is highly prevalent in patients on hemodialysis (HD), as evidenced by increased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP). We compared CRP to high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) to determine whether it has any clinical implications

C-reactive protein: associations with haematological variables, cardiovascular risk factors and prevalent cardiovascular disease [PDF]

, 2003
C-reactive protein (CRP) has been proposed as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease; however, this association is confounded by mutual relationships with both classical and haematological cardiovascular risk factors. We, therefore, measured CRP with a

Serum procalcitonin and high sensitivity C-reactive protein in distinguishing ADHF and CAP

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2014
Background: Rapid and accurate diagnosis and management can be lifesaving for patients with acute dyspnea. However, making a differential diagnosis and selecting early treatment for patients with acute dyspnea in the emergency setting are a clinical ...

Association of leukocyte mitochondrial DNA copy number with longitudinal C-reactive protein levels and survival in older adults: a cohort study

Immunity & Ageing, 2022
Background Systemic chronic inflammation occurs with age. The association of the leukocyte mitochondrial DNA copy number, a measure of mitochondrial function in aging, with the temporal profile of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and mortality ...

High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Cancer

Journal of Epidemiology, 2011
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a commonly used inflammatory marker. The association between hs-CRP and cancer is less consistent than that between hs-CRP and cardiovascular diseases. This study explored the association between hs-CRP and cancer, using a large database of Korean health examination records.A total of 80,781 Koreans who ...

Steatosis DeLIVERs High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2011
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is characterized by excess accumulation of lipids within parenchymal cells of the liver (ie, hepatocellular steatosis) in the absence of excessive ethanol consumption. Fatty liver disease is widely considered to be the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome and is estimated to occur in more than 25% of the Western ...

High sensitivity C-reactive protein levels across spectrum and severity of coronary artery disease [PDF]

, 2012
Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase reactant protein synthesized by the liver in response to acute\ud stress in a wide range of acute and chronic inflammatory conditions.
