C-reactive protein levels predict mortality risk.(in women with HIV)(Brief Article)
2003 APR 3 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- C-reactive protein (CRP) levels can predict the mortality risk for women infected with HIV.
CRP's link to mortality "was assessed in 209 HIV-1-infected women after adjusting for age, body mass index (BMI), serum albumin, CD4 cell lymphocyte count, and HIV-1 RNA" in a recent research from the United States.
"During the follow-up period of up to five years (median = 45 months) there were 49 deaths," according to J. G. Feldman and coauthors at the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center. "CRP at study enrollment was measured using a low sensitivity assay."
"CRP levels were only weakly correlated (Pearson correlation coefficient r
"The relative hazard associated with an elevated CRP level, independent of the covariates noted above, varied from 3.4- to 13.6-fold depending on how CRP values were grouped," study results showed.
The researchers concluded that "CRP may be a useful and inexpensive predictor of HIV disease mortality in women."
