Besides C-reactive protein (CRP),
erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),
and procalcitonin (PCT), some other markers of inflammation include
serum amyloid A,
cytokines,
alpha-1-acid glycoprotein,
plasma viscosity,
ceruloplasmin,
hepcidin, and
haptoglobin. However, high cost, limited availability, and lack of standardization may limit practical clinical use of markers other than CRP, ESR, and PCT in the evaluation of inflammation. Yet some acute phase proteins, for example,
alpha-1 antitrypsin,
fibrinogen
and coagulation factors,
and complement factors, serve a role in specific diagnoses. Information on the hepatic proteins albumin,
prealbumin (transthyretin),
retinol-binding protein (RBP), and
transferrin can be found in the Hepatic Proteins topic.
