Objective: Various inflammatory molecules that are used for diagnosis and monitoring are released into circulation when a bacterial infection is observed at host organisms. C reactive protein (CRP) is one of these various molecules, and procalcitonin (PCT) is also an acute...

Objective: C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of acute phase respondents that has been used to monitor infection and inflammation episodes. In our hospitals' emergency laboratory, CRP analysis is done with a point of care testing device (i-chroma). In our central biochemistry...

Objective: Pre-eclampsia is a pregnancy specific form of hypertension and a multisystem disorder of maternal and placental origin. Pregnancy associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) is a insulin like growth factor binding protein 4- degrading metalloproteinase. The aim of this...

Objective: For this current study, our aims were to investigate the relationships between HbA1c with neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) which are accepted as new markers of systemic inflammation and the relationships between HbA1c with CRP...

Objective: The increase in serum procalcitonin (PCT) levels is a marker of severe systemic inflammation due to bacterial infection and renal excretion plays an important role in its elimination. The aim of this retrospective study is to investigate the relationship between...

Objective: Ankylosing spondilitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease involving primarily the skeletal system, the peripheral joints and extra-articular structures. C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) are commonly used assays for measuring...

The use of C-reactive protein (CRP) analyses in different fields of clinical practice is increasing each day. In particular, investigations indicating the potency of C-reactive protein as a marker in predicting future coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease in healthy people are...

Aim: This study aims to evaluate repeated tests and unnecessary repeated laboratory tests based on minimum retest intervals.

Materials and Methods: Data regarding thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), ferritin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte...

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the possible effects of chronic smoking on serum vitamin D and some inflammation markers.

Materials and Methods: The smoking history of a total of 110 volunteer adults, 76 females and 34 males, for whom 25...

Sepsis is defined as systhemic response against infections and frequently caused by gram negative bacteria. It is proposed that the blood levels of acute phase reactants such as Lipopolisaccharide Binding Protein (LBP), C-reactive protein (CRP), mediators of septic cells such as Tumor Necrosis...

Objective: Since the emergence of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) in December 2019, it has turned into a pandemic. Covid-19 infection; can trigger pulmonary inflammation and also cause acute lung injury. In cases with severe pneumonia, long hospital stays and high...

Objective: Levels of C-reactive protein might be important, in coronary artery disease regarding long-term risk assessment and prognosis. It has been showed that coronary artery disease is associated with high levels of C-reactive protein whereas the relationship between...

Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaulate serum C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and neopterin levels with lipoprotein phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2) activity in obese adolescents with or without insulin resistance, and to demonstrate their relationships with...

Aim: We aimed to determine the glypican-3 levels in patients diagnosed with COVID-19, compare these values with the healthy controls, and analyze the evaluation of glypican-3 levels with inflammatory markers, including interleukin-6 (IL-6), to determine its role in disease...

Aim: Homocitrulline (Hcit) is a modified amino acid originated by carbamylation of lysine residues and it is considered a potential biomarker in inflammatory diseases. Behçet's disease (BD) is an autoinflammatory disease, the diagnosis of the disease is based on clinical...

Objective: Autoimmunity is an important factor in the pathogenesis of Behcet Disease emphasized in recent years In recent studies, Vitamin D has been demonstrated to play a significant role in immune system functioning. The measurement of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D3levels,...

Objective: We aimed to investigate the NT-proBNP levels in high fever patients without heart failure, to contribute to the proper request and interpretation of the test.

Methods: Patients group included 31 patients who admitted with a body temperature...

Objective: Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease, and it is characterized by recurrent inflammatory attacks of the serous membranes which cause periodic abdominal pain, fever and joint pain. The physiopathology of the disease seems more complex...
