Elevated C-reactive protein levels across diagnoses: The first comparison among inpatients with major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, or obsessive–compulsive disorder

We addressed elevated C-reactive protein level (eCRP) specificity comparing, for the first time, eCRP (i.e., serum CRP > 3 and ≤10 mg/L) in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar disorder (BD), or obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). We also assessed to what extent multiple variables that can potentially increase inflammation may have influenced eCRP in our sample. We performed a retrospective, observational, cross-sectional...
