1 The odds ratios were calculated continuously for homocysteine in dependence on C-reactive protein. Homocysteine C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
2 The continuously calculated odds ratio for homocysteine demonstrated a distinct influence of C-reactive protein. Homocysteine C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
3 In the group with high C-reactive protein levels, homocysteine levels above 9.6 micromol/l resulted in a markedly elevated risk (odds ratio 12), in the group with C-reactive protein levels below 5 mg/dl, a comparable risk increase was observed at a homocysteine level of 16.6 micromol/l. Homocysteine C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
4 This data strongly suggests that plasma homocysteine helps identify individuals at risk, especially among those with elevated C-reactive protein levels. Homocysteine C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
