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...

objective(s) in the last few years, serum procalcitonin has been proposed as an early marker of infections in neonates, with varying results. in this study, we aimed to investigate the value of procalcitonin, and c- reactive protein in establishing the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. materials and methods blood samples were collected at admission from 69 neonates with suspected infection (admitte...

background: hemodialysis patients are at greater risk of cardiovascular disease. higher than expected cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in this population has been attributed to dislipidemia as well as inflammation. the causes of inflammation in hemodialysis patients are multifactorial. several markers were used for the detection of inflammatory reaction in patients with chronic renal dise...

background: migarine is the most common headache around the world including iran. in recent years, vitamin d deficiency has been shown to a global health problem. a few studies have been determined inverse association between serum levels of vitamin d with a headache. so, in this study, we investigated the effect of vitamin d supplementation on symptoms and c-reactive protein(crp) among patient...

Introduction: Association between plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations and cardiovascular disease has been Investigated. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase reactant which is a marker of inflammation in the body. CRP is made by the liver in response to inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα). Adipose ti...

c-reactive protein (crp) is an acute-phase protein synthesized predominantly by the hepatocytes in response to tissue damage or inflammation. levels of acute-phase proteins rise rapidly, during infection and after injury. we take up the study to correlate serum crp levels with other important predictive markers of outcome in copd. patient with stable copd (no exacerbation in the last two months...
