This book offers a comprehensive study of C-reactive protein
(CRP) belonging to the pentraxin family, including a brief
history of CRP, its structure, synthesis and evolution.
Focusing on the emerging role of CRP and its clinical
application in the field of disease biology, it details the
pathophysiological role of CRP in a host of diseases such as
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancers, rheumatoid arthritis
and infectious diseases and others. It also discusses the role of
innate immunity and acute phase response (APR) and their key
mediators in the host body in response to tissue injury,
infection, trauma or surgery, immunological disorders or
neoplastic growth. CRP’s significance in inflammation is
highlighted, and its importance as a clinical marker in
cardiovascular disease, its functional significance in
