... plus bendamustine ( n = 47). The overall response rate was 81.1%, with a complete response (CR) rate of 39.6%. The CR rate was significantly low in patients who had elevated levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptor ( p = 0.024) and C-reactive protein (CRP; p = 0.004). The 1-year overall survival (OS...

... chemotherapy. The patients were classified into 3 groups based on LDH with the Glasgow Prognostic Score (L-GPS). A score of 2 was assigned to patients with elevated C-reactive protein, hypoalbuminemia and elevated LDH, a score of 1 to those with one or two abnormalities and a score of 0 to those...

...Osamu Kabutomori; Yuzuru Kanakura; Yoshinori Iwatani We examined the clinical usefulness of 3 parameters of routine laboratory tests [platelet-large cell ratio (P-LCR), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and C-reactive protein (CRP)] in 84 patients with thrombocytosis-related diseases (reactive...

... VII coagulant activity] and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HS-CRP) were examined. Results: There were significant and negative correlations between serum 25(OH) vitamin D and PAI-1 and tPA Ag, and between serum 1,25(OH) 2 vitamin D and tPA Ag and HS-CRP. In a multiple linear regression model...

... increased in the patients with DIC. We investigated the diagnostic and prognostic utility of a new parameter [the fibrinogen/C-reactive protein (CRP) ratio] for predicting DIC in 1,056 patients with suspected DIC and who also had underlying disorders associated with DIC. Among the 535 patients with overt...

... antibodies, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA), anti-cardiolipin and anti-thyroid antibodies. Serum levels of rheumatoid factor, C-reactive protein (CRP) and complement factors C3 and C4 ranged within normal limits in the patients studied, but a highly significant correlation was noted between...
