Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) development involves an inflammatory process with a potential genetic background. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase protein and was elevated in patients with AAA. The aim of this study was to investigate the association among serum high-sensitive CRP (hsCRP) concentration, its CRP genetic polymorphisms, and AAA. METHODS: Serum hsCRP concentrations and abdominal...
