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 ...

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, ...

Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) indicates inflammation, potentially linked to heart disease, diabetes, or poor gut health. Lifestyle adjustments like anti-inflammatory diets, regular exercise, and ...

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 ...

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 ...

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and lipoprotein(a) levels contribute to 5-year and 10-year predictions of cardiovascular risk and represent ...

Cardiologist explains how CRP levels in a blood test can detect silent inflammation and help predict your risk of a heart attack long before symptoms show. Hs-CRP testing can identify hidden ...
