Context: In management of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), excellent biomarkers for inflammation would be helpful in our practice. Objectives: Kinetics of c-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA) was characterized, using their biologic half-life times. Materials and methods: Time course of CRP and SAA levels in the successfully treated 36 CAP patients were investigated and their half-life times were determined and compared. Results & Discussions: SAA and CRP declined in an exponential mean and the biologic half-life times of SAA levels was 34.9 ± 28.7 h, significantly shorter than that of CRP, 46.4 ± 21.7 h (p = 0.0014). Conclusion: The kinetic evidence, presented as biologic half-life times of CRP and SAA, helps us make a clinical assessment of CAP patients.
在社区获得性肺炎(CAP)的管理中,优秀的炎症生物标志物将有助于我们的临床实践。目的:利用C反应蛋白(CRP)和血清淀粉样蛋白A(SAA)的生物学半衰期来表征其动力学。材料与方法:对36例成功治疗的CAP患者的CRP和SAA水平随时间的变化过程进行了研究,并测定和比较了它们的半衰期。结果与讨论:SAA和CRP呈指数下降,SAA水平的生物学半衰期为34.9±28.7小时,明显短于CRP的46.4±21.7小时(p = 0.0014)。结论:以CRP和SAA的生物学半衰期呈现的动力学证据有助于我们对CAP患者进行临床评估。
