High-sensitivity C-reactive proteinClinical importance

Current Problems in Cardiology, 2004
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is a marker of inflammation that predicts incident myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, and sudden cardiac death among healthy individuals with no history of cardiovascular disease, and recurrent events and death in patients with acute or stable coronary syndromes.

Immunoanalytical characteristics of C-reactive protein and high sensitivity C-reactive protein

Annales de biologie clinique, 2017
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a polypeptide molecule belonging to the family of pentraxins. It has a molecular mass of 120,000 daltons and consists of five identical sub-units that contain each 206 amino acids. CRP is synthesized primarily by the liver in response to certain pro-inflammatory cytokines.

High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein in Clinical Practice

The American Heart Hospital Journal, 2003
As a growing number of patients with low low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels are diagnosed with atherosclerosis, research has shifted toward markers of inflammation in an attempt to improve global cardiovascular risk prediction. These markers include cytokines, cell adhesion molecules, and acute phase reactants like high sensitivity C-reactive ...

Physical Activity and High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein

Sports Medicine, 2006
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains one of the leading causes of death and disability in developed countries around the world despite the documented success of lifestyle and pharmacological interventions. This illustrates the multifactorial nature of atherosclerosis and the use of novel inflammatory markers as an adjunct to risk factor reduction ...

High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Statin Initiation

Angiology, 2014
The assessment of cardiovascular risk and treatment of cardiovascular diseases are major public health issues worldwide. Inflammation is now recognized as a key regulatory process that links multiple risk factors for atherosclerosis. The substantial number of patients having cardiovascular events lack commonly established risk factors.

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.

Insomnia and High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein

Psychosomatic Medicine, 2012
To explore the hypothesis that insomnia may increase the risk of coronary heart disease through inflammatory mechanisms.The association of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) with self-reported symptoms of insomnia was examined. Participants were 8547 men and nonpregnant women who answered one or more insomnia-related questions and who had ...

Association between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and hyperuricemia

Rheumatology International, 2016
The aim of the study was to examine the cross-sectional association between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and hyperuricemia (HU). The hsCRP was measured by latex turbidity method. Uric acid was detected on Beckman Coulter AU 5800. HU was defined as uric acid ≥416 μmol/L for the male population and ≥360 μmol/L for the female population.
