[The pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm and polymorphism of haptoglobin and inflammatory factor].

Abstract excerpt

52 patients were operated on for abdominal aortic aneurysm and 38 for aortic occlusion disease. Haptoglobin (Hp) phenotypes were determined in all these patients. Hp and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations were determined in each phenotype. On the basis of the statistical analysis the highest percentage of elevated CRP concentrations was found in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm and phenotype Hp 2-1.
