EVALUATION OF SERUM CHITINASE-3 LIKE 1 PROTEIN AND C-REACTIVE PROTEIN LEVELS IN TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS WITH CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE COMPARED TO DIABETIC AND HEALTHY CONTROL
Background: Diabetes mellitus, which is associated with elevated blood glucose, lipids and liver enzymes, may results in alterations in the production of inflammatory cytokines, including chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), which induce and promote complications of diabetes such as atherosclerosis.The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum ...
متن کاملC-reactive Protein: Screening of Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of death in the United States, resulted in 459,841 deaths in 1998 and accounted for one of every five deaths. CAD is the leading cause of premature and permanent disability in the United States and in 1997, $10.8 billion was paid by Medicare for CAD. Numerous studies suggest that inflammatory changes in the vessel walls initiate atherosclerosis. ...
متن کاملPrognostic value of C-Reactive Protein in Acute Coronary Syndromes
Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is among the most common, serious, chronic and life- threatening illnesses in the world. CAD represents a spectrum of conditions, with acute myocardial infarction at one end of it and silent ischemia at the other. There is growing evidence on importance of prognosis of C- reactive protein (CPR) in unstable angina and this protein is a maker of an adve...
متن کاملC-reactive protein and coronary calcium score association in coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Both high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and spiral computed tomography coronary artery calcium score (CCS) are valid markers of cardiovascular risk. It is unknown whether hs-CRP is a marker of atherosclerotic burden or whether it reflects a process leading to acute coronary events. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied the relation between hs-CRP and CCS in 143 patients that wer...
