Abstract

Inflammation plays a key role in atherosclerosis. A number of different biomarkers of inflammation are measurable in blood. These include cytokines, chemokines, soluble adhesion molecules, and acute-phase reactants. The first 3 groups of molecules are not routinely measured in clinical laboratories. The acute-phase reactants include C-reactive protein (CRP). This analyte is stable and is readily measured by several commercial high-sensitivity (hs) assays, and numerous clinical studies have demonstrated its usefulness as an atherosclerotic risk marker. For these reasons, CRP is currently the inflammatory marker of choice. Comparison of commercial hsCRP assays has demonstrated that many are capable of imprecision of
