Research shows that only 50% of people who've had heart attacks had high LDL levels. So, many doctors use another test, called the C-reactive protein test, to help figure out who’s at risk.

Doctors can use your C-reactive protein (CRP) levels to help diagnose rheumatoid arthritis and see how well your treatment plan is working. Levels typically rise if you have inflammation or ...

Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels have previously been described before the onset of type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes. We hypothesized that inflammation, as reflected by elevated ...

Statins lower the levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and C-reactive protein (CRP). Whether this latter property affects clinical outcomes is unknown. We evaluated relationships ...

However, high C-reactive protein levels indicate significant inflammation caused by a health condition. Levels at or above 10 milligrams of protein per deciliter of blood (10 mg/dL) are considered ...

Levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) are increased in response to acute inflammation, infection and tissue damage. There are also reports that CRP levels are elevated because of cancer. New research ...

Researchers have examined the association between levels of C-reactive protein, a marker for inflammation in the blood, and the risk of type 2 diabetes. Eric Brunner from the Royal Free and ...

Both C-reactive protein and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels are elevated in persons at risk for cardiovascular events. However, population-based data directly comparing these two ...

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a commonly used marker of inflammation, and inflammatory disease is suspected when CRP levels exceed 10 mg/L. Researchers are unclear whether and to what extent ...
