C-Reactive Protein Levels in Pregnancy
van den Hooven et al. (2012) found a non significant association between high levels of maternal and fetal Creactive protein (CRP) and exposure to air pollution when they examined the correlation of CRP levels with inflammation and obstetric morbidity. The authors reported that elevated fetal CRP levels at delivery were associated with higher longterm average maternal exposure to PM10 (parti...
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 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 کاملRace and gender differences in C-reactive protein levels.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine whether there are race and gender differences in the distribution of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. BACKGROUND Few data are available comparing CRP distributions in different race and gender groups. Recent clinical practice recommendations for CRP testing for cardiovascular risk assessment suggest a uniform threshold to define high relative risk (>3...
متن کاملPeriodontitis and plasma C-reactive protein during pregnancy.
BACKGROUND Periodontitis has been associated with increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes and elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations in non-pregnant adults. We examined the relationship between periodontitis and CRP among women who provided dental radiographs and had blood collected during early pregnancy, excluding smokers and diabetic patients. METHODS From Project Viva, an o...
