The overlapping and the correlation between D-dimer and C-reactive protein in patients with community-acquired pneumonia and pulmonary embolism

Coagulation abnormalities are present in pulmonary embolism (PE), but they are frequent in patients with severe infections, too. Elevated proinflammatory cytokines in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) lead to elevated D-dimer. We have analyzed plasma D-dimer and serum CRP in 37 patien...

description Coagulation abnormalities are present in pulmonary embolism (PE), but they are frequent in patients with severe infections, too. Elevated proinflammatory cytokines in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) lead to elevated D-dimer. We have analyzed plasma D-dimer and serum CRP in 37 patients with PE and 108 patients with CAP. The Pneumonia Severity Index was used to classify CAP patients into groups: Group I, Group II and Group III. Group IV, consisted of patients with PE. There was no CRP difference among the Group I and Group IV. Plasma D-dimer correlates with the severity of CAP. There were no differences in plasma D-dimer in the severe CAP and PE. The correlation between serum CRP and plasma D-dimer persist in non-severe CAP. D-dimer was higher in Group IV than in survivor CAP patients, but not higher than in non-survivor CAP patients. Positive correlation between CRP and D-dimer persists in non-severe CAP. In severe CAP, increases of Ddimer are influenced by inflammatory markers, accompanying diseases, patient's age and the severity of disease.
