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 ...

The association between CRP and kidney stones was similar across subgroups. Kidney stone risk increases along with C-reactive protein levels, a marker of inflammation, according to research.

Most dramatically, women with the highest C-reactive protein levels saw their risk of heart disease increase by 70 percent compared with women with the lowest levels.

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 ...

The C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) is calculated by dividing the CRP concentration by the albumin level in the blood. It reflects both acute inflammation (via CRP) and chronic or ...

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 ...

A new study has found a link between low vitamin D levels in the blood and elevated C-reactive protein, an indicator of chronic inflammation. Researchers suggest that for people who are vitamin D ...
