William S. Tillett (1930) discovered that C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is an acute-phase serum protein that reacts with the C polysaccharide of Pneumococcal cell wall. CRP is present in human serum and its level increases during systemic inflammation. Therefore, CRP represents a sensitive marker of systemic inflammation and tissue damage; precise determination of CRP levels has proven to be useful ...

background and aims. c-reactive protein (crp) is a well-known acute-phase reactant produced by the liver in response to inflammation caused by various stimuli. periodontal disease is a chronic infection of tooth-supporting structures characterized by attachment loss and alveolar bone loss. the aim of this study was to assess the relationship between serum c-reactive protein levels and periodont...

Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the leading cardiovascular (CV) cause of mortality. C reactive protein (CRP) has linked with long-term risk recurrent events or death. Albumin, in contrast to CRP known as a negative acute-phase protein. Thus newly introduced marker assessed relation albumin ratio (CAR), which may provide better results than use either alone. The aim study assess ass...

The involvement of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the activation of complement in patients with sepsis was investigated. In 104 patients with infections of varying severity, circulating levels of CRP-complement complexes, which are specific indicators for CRP-mediated complement activation, were assessed. Complement-CRP complexes were increased in almost all patients and correlated significantly w...

This study was conducted to evaluate C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections and the follow-up therapeutic response to tuberculosis (TB) among patients aged 19-68 years attending out-patient clinics of two hospitals in Abeokuta, Southwestern Nigeria. Of 246 blood samples examined, the CRP value was highest (4.0%) among age ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the significance of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the discrimination of acute appendicitis pathology and its guiding role in the timing of surgery. METHODS 307 patients in our hospital from July 2012 to December 2013 were selected, who received appendectomy and simultaneous detections of WBC, neutrophil percentage and CRP; and Logistic regression analysis and Roc analys...
