C REACTIVE PROTEIN, BLOOD PRESSURE AND BMI IN BREAST CANCER SUBJECTS
Journal Title: WORLD JOURNAL PHARMACY AND PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCE - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Background: Breast cancer is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in women and C reactive protein is predictive of a poor prognosis of breast cancer. Objectives: The study evaluated the levels of C reactive protein (CRP), body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure in breast cancer subjects. Methods: A total of 100 women comprising 50 breast cancer subjects and 50 women without the history of cancer were investigated. C-reactive protein was evaluated using Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit from Diagnostic Automation Inc. BMI and Blood pressure were also monitored using standard procedures. Results: The results showed that CRP was significantly increased (p<0.05) in breast cancer subjects compared with people without breast cancer. The levels of diastolic and systolic blood pressure were significantly (p<0.05) raised in the breast cancer subject compared with the control. Conclusion: It was concluded that the level of CRP, blood pressure and BMI should be monitored in breast cancer subjects so that adequate care can be given to the subjects.
