Abstract excerpt
C-reactive protein (CRP) can increase up to 1000-fold in blood and form complexes with very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). These complexes are associated with worse outcomes for septic patients, and this suggests a potential pathological role in sepsis. Complex formation is heightened when CRP is over 200 mg/l and levels are associated with the severity of sepsis and blood bacterial culture positivity. Using a...
