  2. C-reactive protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-reactive_protein

    C-reactive protein (CRP) is an annular (ring-shaped) pentameric protein found in blood plasma, whose circulating concentrations rise in response to inflammation. It is an acute-phase protein of hepatic origin that increases following interleukin-6 secretion by macrophages and T cells .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serum_protein_electrophoresis

    C-reactive protein is found in between the beta and gamma zones producing beta/gamma fusion. IgA has the most anodal mobility and typically migrates in the region between the beta and gamma zones also causing a beta/gamma fusion in patients with cirrhosis, respiratory infection, skin disease, or rheumatoid arthritis (increased IgA).

  6. Cardiac marker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_marker

    Depending on the marker, it can take between 2 and 24 hours for the level to increase in the blood. Additionally, determining the levels of cardiac markers in the laboratory - like many other lab measurements - takes substantial time. Cardiac markers are therefore not useful in diagnosing a myocardial infarction in the acute phase.

  7. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythrocyte_sedimentation_rate

    C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase protein. Therefore, it is a better marker for acute phase reaction than ESR. Therefore, it is a better marker for acute phase reaction than ESR. While ESR and CRP generally together correlate with the degree of inflammation, this is not always the case and results may be discordant [ 9 ] in 12.5% of ...

  8. Elevated alkaline phosphatase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevated_alkaline_phosphatase

    Elevated levels are also associated with diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease; it was found that elevated levels are associated with elevated serum C-reactive protein (CRP), which could reflect an inflammatory and atherogenic milieu, possibly an alternative cause for elevated serum alkaline phosphatase. [10] Chronic kidney disease ...
