BACKGROUND Conventional C-reactive protein assays have been used to detect or guide the treatment of acute sepsis. The objective of this study was to determine the association between elevated baseline high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and the risk of future sepsis events. METHODS We studied data from 30,239 community dwelling, black and white individuals, age ≥45 years old enrolled...

Background/Aim. Despite the widespread use of procalcitonin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and soluble CD14 subtype (sCD14-ST), their diagnostic accuracy in children with sepsis is not yet clear. The aim study was to establish compare CRP, sCD14-ST admitted hospital under suspicion having sepsis. Methods. designed as a retrospective cross-sectional on Pediatrics Clinic Kragujevac, Serbia, sepsis, d...

Background: Neonatal sepsis is one of the common causes neonatal mortality. Blood culture gold standard procedure to confirm sepsis. However, rapid rate disease progression makes its timely diagnosis and prompt management very crucial before availability culture. The study aimed determine significance complete blood count parameters including platelet indices in diagnosing Materials Methods: Th...

objective(s) homocysteine, hs-crp and fibrinogen are three novel cardiovascular risk factors. the aim of this study was to examine the effect of a single bout of circuit resistance exercise on homocysteine, hs-crp and fibrinogen levels in healthy and inactive men. materials and methods the subjects were randomly divided into the experimental group (n= 14) and the control group (n= 9). circuit t...

Background: The management of neonatal sepsis especially in developing countries is problematic.  There is no single reliable marker of infection available at the present.  C-reactive protein (CRP) has long been used as a marker of infection. Serial measurements of CRP are recommended as a guide for duration of antibiotic therapy. Objective: To evaluate the serial CRP measurement as a guideline...

Background: Sepsis is a leading cause of death among critically ill patients with infections. Abnormal levels C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin in sepsis have been shown to predict mortality. Combining the two markers can increase predictive value mortality.Objective: The aim this retrospective cohort study was determine cut-off for CRP/albumin ratio that could be used mortality sepsis. Meth...

abstract   background : cancer has not been elucidated in colerectal site. c-reactive protein (crp) is a product synthesized in hepatocytes and has been reported to be up-regulated by such proinflammatory cytokines as interleukin-1 (il-1), interleukin-6 (il-6), and tumor necrosis factor (tnf). the significance of a preoperative serum elevation was evaluated using crp as a predictive indicator f...
