| 1 | Aspirin and corticosteroids are known to down-regulate CRP production. | Aspirin | C-reactive protein | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | In this study, we evaluated the usefulness of CRP as a biomarker for complicated diverticulitis and specifically in patients on anti-inflammatory medications: aspirin and corticosteroids. | Aspirin | C-reactive protein | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | Mean CRP levels were 133.5 and 63.5 mg/ml for those with complicated and uncomplicated disease, respectively (p < 0.001), and 139 and 60 mg/ml, respectively (p < 0.001) in the subgroup of patients taking aspirin (n = 61). | Aspirin | C-reactive protein | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | CONCLUSIONS: The CRP level distinguished between complicated and uncomplicated disease among left-sided diverticulitis patients including those taking aspirin, but not among those on corticosteroid treatment. | Aspirin | C-reactive protein | Homo sapiens |
