  • Title: C-reactive protein--an indicator of generalized bacterial infection in children with nephrotic syndrome.
    Author: Eskola J, Holmberg C, Koskimies O.
    Journal: Acta Paediatr Scand; 1986 Sep; 75(5):846-8. PubMed ID: 3564951.
    Abstract:
    The usefulness of C-reactive protein for detecting bacterial infections in children with nephrotic syndrome was studied in 12 children who had a total of 29 episodes of infection. Four episodes were septic, with CRP values of 127-270 mg/l and 25 superficial or focal with all CRP values below 47 mg/l; 13 were below 10 mg/l. CRP thus discriminated the invasive bacterial diseases from other infections. It was not affected by the nephrotic syndrome activity.
