Compared to patients with no SIRS, patients with SIRS had elevated CRP (22 ± 15 mg/dl versus 5 ± 5 mg/dl, P < .0001), IL-6 (1277 ± 1675 versus 140 ± 77 pg/mL, P < .03), IL-10 (116 ± 129 versus 44 ± 18 pg/mL, P < .05), NI (11.2 ± 13 mg/dl versus 2.3 ± 2.4 mg/dl, P < .02), and triglycerides (352 ± 455 mg/dl versus 81 ± 26 mg/dl, P < .01) levels. Here, CRP is linked to systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
