Parameter
| Biomarker | CRP | Full name | C-Reactive Protein | Molecular Type | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Molecular Formula | / | Molecular Weight | / | Core Functional Dimensions | Diagnosis, Prognosis |
| Disease | Depression | Disease Subtypes | / | ||
| Organ | Brain | Test Sample / Technology Platform | Whole Blood (Immunoturbidimetry, Latex-Enhanced Immunoassay) | ||
| Pathobiological Mechanisms | Systemic inflammation activation exacerbates central neuroinflammation through the blood-brain barrier, interfering with monoamine neurotransmitter balance. | ||||
| Clinical Availability Status | Clinically Available | ||||
| Notes and Dynamics | Positively correlated with depression severity (patients with BDI score >20 often have CRP >3mg/L), and can predict recurrence risk within 1 year. | ||||
