The liver releases small amounts of C-reactive protein (CRP) to fight infections and inflammation. However, high C-reactive protein levels indicate significant inflammation caused by a health ...

Blood tests are one way to understand what’s happening in our bodies, and one such indicator is the C-reactive protein (CRP). Produced by the liver, CRP levels rise when there is inflammation inside ...

Compared with patients in the lowest CRP quartile, those in the highest quartile have increased odds of kidney stones. Elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a nonspecific inflammatory marker, ...

Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials of Prophylactic Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor and Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor After Autologous and Allogeneic Stem Cell ...

A study finds that a blood test that evaluates levels of three compounds — lipoprotein(a), C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation), and “bad” LDL cholesterol — can accurately reveal heart ...

The biological function of the C-reactive protein, CRP, has long been unknown. Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden now show that this protein has a beneficial function in systemic lupus ...

With high biologic treatment failure rates common among patients who have hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), investigators set out to evaluate the potential of biomarkers to estimate potential treatment ...

Overall survival, cancer-specific survival and progression-free survival were all negatively affected by elevated C-reactive protein levels, this study found. A new meta-analysis supports the idea ...

English-speaking women age ≥ 60 years, newly diagnosed with primary breast cancer (stage 0-III), and frequency-matched controls were enrolled from September 2010 to March 2020; women with dementia, ...

Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) indicates inflammation, potentially linked to heart disease, diabetes, or poor gut health. Lifestyle adjustments like anti-inflammatory diets, regular exercise, and ...
