C reactive protein 18
What is C-reactive protein (CRP)?
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase protein that serves as an early marker of inflammation or infection. The protein is synthesized in the liver and is normally found at concentrations of less than 10 mg/L in the blood.
Is C-reactive protein an inflammatory and infective marker in intensive care medicine?
An update on C-reactive protein for intensivists This review aims to summarise the physiology of C-reactive protein (CRP), its possible roles and limitations as an inflammatory and infective marker in intensive care medicine, and also the emerging roles of CRP in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular and autoimmune diseases.
Do C-reactive protein levels correlate with mortality in critically ill patients?
Diagnosis and follow-up of infections in intensive care patients: value of C-reactive protein compared with other clinical and biological variables. Crit Care Med 2002; 30:529-535. Lobo SM, Lobo FR, Bota DP, Lopes-Ferreira F, Soliman HM, Mélot C et al. C-reactive protein levels correlate with mortality and organ failure in critically ill patients.
Can C-reactive protein predict cardiovascular risk?
In an attempt to improve global cardiovascular risk prediction, considerable interest has focused on C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation that has been shown in multiple prospective epidemiological studies to predict incident myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, and sudden cardiac death.

C-reactive protein, a pentameric protein pro-duced by the liver, has emerged as the “golden marker” for inflammation. It has been evalu-ated in many phases of coronary disease and has proven to be a reliable predictor of cardio-vascular risk. Recent evidence lends support to the con-cept that CRP plays a direct role in promoting

Composed of five 23 kDa subunits, C-reactive protein (CRP) is an hepatically derived pentraxin that plays a key role in the innate immune response. CRP has a long plasma half-life and is now understood to be a mediator as well as a marker of atherothrombotic disease.
