...C-Reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase reactant, which means its plasma level increases in cases of inflammation, and decreases back to normal when you cure the inflammation.

Normal plasma CRP level is 0.8 to 3 mg/L

Both C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) increase in cases of inflammation, that's the definition of acute phase reactants.

CRP is a marker of inflammation
c protein is an inhibitor of factor 8 and 5 in the coagulation process
c peptide is a chain of amino acides produced in beta cells of the pancreas, it comes from the clivage of proinsulin .

Your sarcasm helps me remember everything

[holden]

C peptide is a component of preinsulin, which binds two alpha chains of insulin molecule. C peptite test is done to differentiate type 1 DM from type 2, because c peptide is available in the body only if there's endogenous insulin secretion

CRP is an acute phase protein
C peptide is part of the proinsulin which is cleaved off before release
Protein C is an anticoagulant in blood

greetings from Indonesia im a HLAB 27 autoimmune patient, have a high number in my CRP been diagnosed since 2002, love this channel

C-Reactive Protein is acute phase reactant / Protein-C is innate anticoagulant / C-peptide is a part of preinsulin

"I will diagnose you on your crp..said no doctor ever" except my husband's rheumatologist. BTW, he was bit by a tick, his ANA was 1:40, and she prescribed Methotrexate. I said no, no, no prescribe him doxycyline. 3 days on doxycyline and he went from bedridden to ready to go dancing.

I love your videos. But also, knowing your love for complex conditions, I would LOVE to know your thoughts on my lab results!
I am a very complicated and rare individual, and am finally getting the proper health care that I’ve needed for the past 15 years.
Keep doing what you are doing - your passion radiates though your videos and I appreciate the stable and confidence source of knowledge that you share!

CRP and ESR are not markers of INFECTION BUT OF INFLAMMATION! Just a reminder :) Great video, cheers man!

[prashantgupta]

I need video on antibacterial antibiotics

[jayking]

By the way, I have found some difference between pneumonia and pneumonitis!

"Pneumonitis (noo-moe-NIE-tis) is a general term that refers to inflammation of lung tissue. Technically, pneumonia is a type of pneumonitis because the infection causes inflammation. Pneumonitis, however, is usually used by doctors to refer to noninfectious causes of lung inflammation." (- Mayo Clinic)

To the point man, love how you make it
