Significance of high C-reactive protein levels in pre-dialysis patients.
BACKGROUND An elevated serum C-reactive protein (CRP) has been shown to be strongly predictive of morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients. However, the significance of high CRP levels in the pre-dialysis period has not been studied extensively. The aim of our study was to analyse the evolution of our pre-dialysis population according to their basal levels of CRP. METHODS A cohort of 66 p...
متن کاملComparative Analysis of Serum Levels of Aluminum and Lead in Dialysis Patients, Pre and post Dialysis
Background: Accumulation or deficiency of trace elements can occur in hemodialysis patients and it increases risk of cardiovascular or other organs disorders. Special ions levels such as sodium and bicarbonate in dialysis fluid are accurately regulated but the remaining elements are not regularly measured. Aluminum and lead belong to the biologic performance free heavy metals .They also has a t...
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 کاملSerum 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...
