- W2024886564 abstract "In the mid 1990s, immunoassays for C-reactive protein (CRP), with greater sensitivity than those previously in routine use, revealed that increased CRP values, even within the range previously considered normal, strongly predict future coronary events. These findings triggered widespread interest, especially, remarkably, in the US, where the clinical use of CRP measurement had been largely ignored for about 30 years. CRP production is part of the nonspecific acute-phase response to most forms of inflammation, infection, and tissue damage and was therefore considered not to provide clinically useful information. Indeed, CRP values can never be diagnostic on their own and can only be interpreted at the bedside, in full knowledge of all other clinical and pathological results. However, they can then contribute powerfully to management, just as universal recording of the patient’s temperature, an equally nonspecific parameter, is of great clinical utility.The present torrent of studies of CRP in cardiovascular disease and associated conditions is facilitated by the ready commercial availability of automated CRP assays and of CRP itself as a research reagent. However, unlike the earlier rejection in the US of CRP as an empirical test because of its perceived lack of specificity, the current enthusiasm over CRP in cardiovascular disease is widely characterized by failure to recognize appropriately the nonspecific nature of the acute-phase response, and by lack of critical biological judgment. Quality control of the source, purity, and structural and functional integrity of the CRP, and the relevance of experimental design before ascribing pathophysiological functions, are also often ignored.This article provides information about CRP as a protein and an acute-phase reactant, and a knowledge-based framework for interpretation and analysis of clinical observations of CRP in relation to cardiovascular and other diseases. We also review the properties of CRP, its possible role in pathogenesis of disease, and our own observations that identify it as a possible therapeutic target." @default.
