  2. Saliva testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saliva_testing

    Many biomarkers are nonspecific (for example, CRP is a nonspecific inflammatory marker), and thus they can not be used alone to diagnose any particular disease. This issue is currently being addressed through identification of multiple biomarkers that are correlative of a disease; these can then be screened concomitantly to create a ...

  3. 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 .

  5. Polymyalgia rheumatica - Wikipedia

    Another test that checks the level of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the blood may also be conducted. CRP is produced by the liver in response to an injury or infection, and people with polymyalgia rheumatica usually have high levels. [17] [18] However, like the ESR, this test is also not very specific. [citation needed]

  6. Acute-phase protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute-phase_protein

    Some act to destroy or inhibit growth of microbes, e.g., C-reactive protein, mannose-binding protein, [3] complement factors, ferritin, ceruloplasmin, serum amyloid A and haptoglobin. Others give negative feedback on the inflammatory response, e.g. serpins. Alpha 2-macroglobulin and coagulation factors affect coagulation, mainly stimulating it.

  7. Systemic inflammation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemic_inflammation

    Chronic systemic inflammation (SI) is the result of release of pro-inflammatory cytokines from immune-related cells and the chronic activation of the innate immune system.It can contribute to the development or progression of certain conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, autoimmune and neurodegenerative ...

  8. Dietary inflammatory index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietary_inflammatory_index

    The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) is a numerical score that assesses a diet for its effect on several biomarkers linked to inflammation. Its theoretical bounds are −8.87 to +7.98, and it is oriented such that negative scores are more anti-inflammatory and more positive scores are pro-inflammatory .

  9. Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood...

    Reference ranges for blood tests, sorted logarithmically by mass above the scale and by molarity below. ( A separate printable image is available for mass and molarity ) Hormones predominate at the left part of the scale, shown with a red at ng/L or pmol/L, being in very low concentration.
