Key result
C-reactive protein is a useful, widely available marker for assessing surgical stress, predicting postoperative complications, and comparing inflammatory responses between surgical approaches.
Why the study?
Is C-reactive protein (CRP) measurement useful as a marker of surgical stress and postoperative complications in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery?
Is C-reactive protein (CRP) measurement useful as a marker of surgical stress and postoperative complications in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery?
CRP is a practical and widely used biomarker for monitoring surgical stress and early detection of complications in gastrointestinal surgery, though standardization of its use is needed.
CRP may aid stress monitoring and complication detection in GI surgery; leaves open standardization and prospective validation.
Being able to predict the complications that can arise after a surgical intervention is essential to accelerate the recovery of patients, minimize pain or save their lives in the most crucial cases. Different markers of surgical aggression [1-3] have been studied, being to use C-reactive protein (CRP) measurement during the postoperative period the current trend to predict the evolution of the patients A brief review of the utility of CRP measurement is showed to assess its use as the choice marker of the surgical injury.
