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.

3. Acute-phase protein - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute-phase_protein

   Inflammatory cells and red blood cells. Acute-phase proteins (APPs) are a class of proteins whose concentrations in blood plasma either increase (positive acute-phase proteins) or decrease (negative acute-phase proteins) in response to inflammation. This response is called the acute-phase reaction (also called acute-phase response).

4. Serum amyloid A - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serum_amyloid_A

   Serum amyloid A (SAA) is also an acute phase marker that responds rapidly. Similar to CRP, levels of acute-phase SAA increase within hours after inflammatory stimulus, and the magnitude of increase may be greater than that of CRP. Relatively trivial inflammatory stimuli can lead to SAA responses.

   All of the women had blood tests done at the beginning of the study to measure their LDL cholesterol, Lp(a) and C-reactive protein levels, a marker of inflammation in the body.

6. Inflammation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammation

   Inflammation is a generic response, and therefore is considered a mechanism of innate immunity, whereas adaptive immunity is specific to each pathogen. [3] Inflammation is a protective response involving immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators. The function of inflammation is to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury, clear out ...

7. Liver function tests - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_function_tests

   Liver function tests (LFTs or LFs), also referred to as a hepatic panel or liver panel, are groups of blood tests that provide information about the state of a patient's liver. [1] These tests include prothrombin time (PT/INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), albumin , bilirubin (direct and indirect), and others.
