Serum C-reactive protein levels in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease patientsin southern Nigeria.
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of hospitalization and mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD). C-reactive protein (CRP) is a marker of cardiovascular disease and predictor of mortality in CKD patients. CKD patients with elevated CRP should be identified early with institution of measures to treat cardiovascular risk factors in order to reduce attendant mortality. AIMS ...
متن کاملC - Reactive Protein Levels in Patients with Periodontal Disease and Normal Subjects
Although periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease but some factors of acute inflammation phase are involved in this disease among which is the C-Reactive protein (CRP). To minimize its effects, anti-inflammatory drugs or non-pharmacological approaches such as oral hygiene is recommended. CRP can also be used for the prediction and early detection of periodontal disease. The aim of the pr...
متن کاملComparison of C - reactive protein Levels in Chronic Periodontitis Patients with Normal Subjects
Background: Chronic periodontitis causes systemic inflammation and increases C-reactive protein (CRP). CRP has been implicated as a possible mediator of associating periodontitis and several systemic diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate systemic levels of CRP in patients with chronic periodontitis in comparison to periodontally healthy individuals. Materials and methods:...
متن کاملRelationship between C-reactive protein, albumin, and cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease.
BACKGROUND C-Reactive protein (CRP) level is elevated in kidney failure and may be related to malnutrition and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Data are limited regarding relationships between CRP levels and glomerular filtration rate (GFR), nutritional indices, and CVD in patients with earlier stages of kidney disease. METHODS CRP was assayed from samples from the Modification of Diet in Renal ...
متن کاملC-reactive protein gene polymorphisms, C-reactive protein blood levels, and cardiovascular disease risk.
C-reactive protein (CRP), a blood marker of inflammation and a hallmark of the acute-phase response, has been shown to be a powerful and specific predictor of cardiovascular event risk in populations of otherwise healthy persons. Here we review what is known about CRP gene polymorphisms, discuss how these might affect the epidemiology of CRP and our understanding of CRP's contribution to cardio...
