C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is an acute phase inflammatory protein that was first discovered and named by Tillet and Francis in 1930 while studying the serum of patients infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae.[1]CRP is primarily synthesized in hepatocytes, initially produced as a monomer and then assembled into a pentamer in the endoplasmic reticulum of the source cell. … Read more
When it comes to enhancing immunity, vitamin C seems to be the “go-to choice” for everyone. However, few people know that there is a nutrient that is the true “cornerstone player” in the immune system’s “combat system”—it is protein. As the “building material” for immune cells and antibodies, protein plays a far greater role in … Read more
C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is an acute-phase protein synthesized by hepatocytes, with very low expression levels in healthy human serum. Its expression significantly increases during trauma, infection, etc., mainly regulated by inflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor and interleukins. It is synthesized by the liver and is a non-specific acute-phase response protein. The expression of … Read more

The patient is a 6-year-old girl who has been coughing for 2 weeks without fever. After worsening for 2 days, she visited the outpatient clinic. The blood test results are as follows:White blood cell count: 20×109/L (elevated), neutrophil ratio: 65.8% (normal), neutrophil count: 13.16×109/L (elevated), C-reactive protein: 1.77mg/L (normal).Although the white blood cell count is … Read more
Click the blue text above to follow us C-reactive protein is abbreviated as CRP, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein is abbreviated as hsCRP. So what are the differences between the C-reactive protein test and the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein test? Experts point out that there is no chemical difference between C-reactive protein and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; they … Read more
What does C-Reactive Protein look like? C-Reactive Protein (CRP) appears as a symmetrical, ring-shaped pentamer, with a molecular metabolic half-life of only 5-7 hours. ▼ How is C-Reactive Protein synthesized in the body? C-Reactive Protein is synthesized in response to inflammatory lymphokines (interleukin-6, interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor TNF) that stimulate the liver and epithelial cells. … Read more
C-Reactive Protein C-Reactive Protein (CRP), discovered by Tillett and Francis in 1930, is a pentameric protein synthesized by the liver. During acute inflammation or infection, CRP levels rise significantly, primarily induced by interleukin-6 (IL-6), playing an important regulatory role in the acute phase of inflammation/infection processes. The CRP level in healthy individuals is usually very … Read more
On August 11, a communication from Mark Toshner at Papworth Royal Hospital was published in the Annals of the American Thoracic Society titled “Inflammation and Obesity Correlate in Pulmonary Hypertension but Associate with Diverging Outcomes.” This multicenter study systematically reveals for the first time the complex association between C-reactive protein (CRP) and body mass index … Read more
When undergoing a physical examination at the hospital, doctors often order a blood test for us—erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). What exactly does this test check for? The full name of ESR is the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, which refers to the rate at which red blood cells naturally settle in anticoagulated whole blood. ESR is a … Read more
