| Pathobiological Mechanisms | PCOS exhibits the characteristic of "chronic low-level inflammation". Inflammatory factors activate the local inflammatory response in adipose tissue and the ovary, promoting insulin resistance and androgen synthesis. CRP is a sensitive indicator reflecting systemic inflammation. | ||||
| Clinical Availability Status | Clinical auxiliary assessment: Often used for risk stratification of metabolic complications in PCOS patients. | ||||
| Notes and Dynamics | The serum CRP levels in patients with PCOS are mostly slightly elevated (typically < 10mg/L), and are positively correlated with insulin resistance and abdominal obesity. A CRP level of ≥ 3mg/L indicates an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, and lifestyle intervention should be strengthened. | ||||
