Abstract:
Objective To investigate the changes of serum apolipoprotein A-I and its clinical significance to acute respiratory infection.Method Totally 44 patients with acute respiratory infection were divided into three groups according to various concentration of Serum apolipoprotein A-I.They were procaleitonin(PCT)＜0.5 ng/ml group,0.5 ng/ml≤PCT＜2 ng/ml group and PCT≥2 ng/ml group.We measured apolipoprotein A-I,C-reactive protein,procalcitonin and albumin within 24 hours after admission.Results With the increase of serumPCT,the production of ApoA-I and albumin were down-regulated,while CRP up-regulated.Conclusions Apolipoprotein A-I has a sound relationship with the acute respiratory infection.It can be used as one of the diagnostic criteria in severe infection patients who have disorders of lipometabolism.
