Inflammation is associated with diverse clinical conditions accompanied by characteristic changes in serum levels of the acutephase proteins that can be used to stage the inflammatory process and evaluate the impact of treatment. Some acute-phase proteins increase during inflammation, while others,
## Abstract The principal considerations driving iron status evaluation are clinical concern for anemia and the possibility of iron‐storage disease. Most often, the circulating levels of transferrin (or total iron binding capacity) and serum iron are measured and the percentage of transferrin satur
## Abstract The two serum proteins of the complement cascade in the highest concentrations, C3 and C4, respond to various conditions in much the same manner as do other positive acute‐phase proteins. A major difference is that they are relatively sluggish in response to cytokine drive, requiring se
