High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Reference Intervals in the Elderly

  • Bernard Herbeth , Gérard Siest and Joseph Henny

Abstract

High sensitivity C-reactive protein is a useful marker in clinical practice; however, reference intervals are not available for all age groups. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine reference intervals for elderly people. The non-parametric reference limits were calculated for the two genders, subdivided into two age classes (50–64 and 65–91 years). In our selected sample population, we did not observe significant gender differences.
