The liver releases small amounts of C-reactive protein (CRP) to fight infections and inflammation. However, high C-reactive protein levels indicate significant inflammation caused by a health ...

A study finds that a blood test that evaluates levels of three compounds — lipoprotein(a), C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation), and “bad” LDL cholesterol — can accurately reveal heart ...

Blood tests are one way to understand what’s happening in our bodies, and one such indicator is the C-reactive protein (CRP). Produced by the liver, CRP levels rise when there is inflammation inside ...

Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes are driven by systemic inflammation, a natural biological response to harmful stimuli, injuries, or infections. C-reactive protein ...

The biological function of the C-reactive protein, CRP, has long been unknown. Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden now show that this protein has a beneficial function in systemic lupus ...

Compared with patients in the lowest CRP quartile, those in the highest quartile have increased odds of kidney stones. Elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a nonspecific inflammatory marker, ...

Serum C-reactive protein is being investigated as a biomarker to predict adalimumab response in hidradenitis suppurativa patients. Elevated baseline C-reactive protein levels correlate with a reduced ...
