... that might be related to mortality. Results: The prevalence of hematuria alone and in combination with proteinuria was 11.6 and 5.1%, respectively. C-reactive protein was a significant factor associated with the presence of hematuria (OR [95% CI] 1.17 [1.03–1.34], p = 0.0194). The cumulative mortality...

... A. Usvyat; Peter Kotanko Background/Aim: The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), defined as the neutrophil count divided by lymphocyte count, is an inexpensive and readily available parameter, which may serve as a surrogate for inflammation markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP). The aim of this study...

... the levels of IL-6. Elevated levels of IL-6 were also observed in uremic patients compared to normal donors, although significantly lower than in hemodialyzed patients (p = 0.001). Since IL-6 is a hepatocyte-stimulating mediator, we searched for a correlation with C-reactive protein (CRP). Although 4/14...

...Jürgen Groth; Jürgen Kaden; Petra Hoffmann; Karin Müller; Heinz Mrochen; Moritz Mebel 50 patients were serially monitored for C-reactive protein (CRP) in serum after kidney transplantation. Compared with a control group the post-operative peak at days 1 and 3 was strongly depressed...

... of dialysis patients have determined that C-reactive protein (CRP) is a predictor of morbidity. Little is known as to whether CRP, cytokines, such as IL-6 and IL-1β that stimulate the synthesis of CRP, or matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are markers of inflammation in patients on dialysis. Methods: We assayed...

... that in apparently healthy subjects elevated serum levels of plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with an increased risk of experiencing myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death. It has been claimed that, in dialytic patients, the hepatic synthesis of this ‘acute phase response’ plasma protein...

...S.R. Lederer; H. Schiffl The aims of our prospective 3-year investigation were (1) to clarify whether high C-reactive protein (CRP) levels are an intermittent or a continuous phenomenon in individual hemodialysis patients and (2) to evaluate a possible relationship between ultrapure dialysis fluid...
