  2. Cytokine release syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokine_release_syndrome

    Patients with fulminant COVID-19 and ARDS have classical serum biomarkers of CRS including elevated CRP, LDH, IL-6, and ferritin. [17] Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and Epstein-Barr virus-related hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis are caused by extreme elevations in cytokines and can be regarded as one form of severe cytokine release ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Polymyalgia rheumatica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymyalgia_rheumatica

    Many conditions can cause an elevated ESR, so this test alone is not proof that a person has polymyalgia rheumatica. [16] [17] 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 ...

  5. 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 .

  6. Giant cell arteritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_cell_arteritis

    Giant cell arteritis (GCA), also called temporal arteritis, is an inflammatory autoimmune disease of large blood vessels. [4] [7] Symptoms may include headache, pain over the temples, flu-like symptoms, double vision, and difficulty opening the mouth. [3]

  8. Serum protein electrophoresis - Wikipedia

    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).

  9. CRP - Wikipedia

    C-reactive protein, an acute phase protein produced by the liver; cAMP receptor protein (catabolite gene activator protein) Cysteine-rich protein, a class of small proteins; Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers; Chinese restaurant process, in probability theory; Chronic relapsing polyneuropathy, an acquired disorder of the nervous system
