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.
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein has been developed and used as a marker to predict coronary vascular diseases in metabolic syndrome, and it was recently used as a predictor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (steatohepatitis) in correlation with serum markers that indicated lipid and glucose metabolism.

"Those most at risk for severe foodborne illness include children under 5, pregnant women, older adults and people with weakened immune systems," says Bellows. How long does food poisoning last?
Increased levels of CRP as measured by a CRP test or the more sensitive high serum CRP (hsCRP) test and elevated levels of I6 as measured by an IL6 ELISA are markers for the increased risk of silent stroke. [27] Diabetes mellitus: untreated or improperly managed diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk for silent stroke. [28]
This is 0.5–1% of adults in the developed world with between 5 and 50 per 100,000 people newly developing the condition each year.
