Potential use of C-reactive protein determinations in obstetrics and gynecology
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase protein synthesized by the liver during the course of a large number of diseases. During gestation and parturition, progressively increasing numbers of gravida develop elevated levels up to 32, 48 to 80 per cent, respectively). These elevations in pregnancy...
