Serum calprotectin and complement factor 3 may better identify systemic inflammation than CRP in patients with early psoriatic arthritis, especially those who are CRP negative or have obesity.

The biological function of the C-reactive protein, CRP, has long been unknown. Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden now show that this protein has a beneficial function in systemic lupus ...

Early prediction and prevention of venous thromboembolism is crucial in high-risk populations, such as hospitalized patients with bladder cancer.

Overall survival, cancer-specific survival and progression-free survival were all negatively affected by elevated C-reactive protein levels, this study found. A new meta-analysis supports the idea ...
