Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Serological biomarkers could reflect asymptomatic infrarenal aortic aneurysm (AAA) activity and guide patient management. REPORT: Serum concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), alpha 1-antitrypsin and lipoprotein(a) were measured in blood samples from 35 AAA patients and 35 controls and correlated with the aortic diameter and AAA growth in the previous 12 months. We found a positive correlation between CRP and AAA diameter (r=0.46; p=0.007) and alpha 1-antitrypsin and AAA growth (r=0.55; p=0.004).Entities:
