Correlations of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and atherosclerosis in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients.
BACKGROUND The elevated level of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HSCRP) and aortic stiffness are associated with high mortality in type 2 diabetic patients. We tested the hypothesis that the HSCRP correlates with aortic stiffness and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetic patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study consisted of 46 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes and high HSCRP group (...
متن کاملHigh-sensitivity C-reactive Protein Can Predict Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Korean Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Inflammation is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). It has been suggested that the measurement of markers of inflammation may aid in predicting the risk of such events. Here, the relationship between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels and MACE in Korean patients with type 2 diabetes is assessed. A retrospective cohort study ...
متن کاملEffects of bromocriptine mesylate on homocysteine and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus
INTRODUCTION Quick release bromocriptine (BROM-QR), currently approved for glycemic control, reduces the risk of cardiovascular events in adults with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study evaluates the effect of BROM-QR on homocysteine (HOMC) and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), the biochemical markers of coronary atherosclerosis/inflammation, in patients with uncontrolled T2DM...
متن کاملHigh-sensitivity C-reactive protein in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus and/or high blood pressure.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and high blood pressure (HBP) may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease, and inflammation may be an important factor in these diseases. In the present study, plasma levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were measured in subjects with DM2 and/or HBP and compared to those of normal subjects. Eighty-nine subjects were analyzed for h...
متن کاملProblems with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.
To the Editor: Last year, Ockene et al. (1) published a report in this journal that made the claim that high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) has a degree of measurement stability that is similar to that of total cholesterol and that this provides further evidence of the potential clinical utility of hs-CRP screening as a novel tool for vascular risk prediction. The key evidence that Ock...
