Elevated levels of C-reactive protein independently predict accelerated deterioration of graft function in renal transplant recipients.
BACKGROUND: Chronic transplant dysfunction is characterized by a gradual decline in renal function with slowly rising serum creatinine. The underlying mechanism is thought to include inflammation and atherosclerosis. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a well-established marker of both inflammation and ath...
