    proteins that change levels in blood during inflammation

    Acute Phase Proteins (APPs) are a group of proteins whose levels in the blood increase or decrease in response to inflammation, infection, or injury. They play a crucial role in the body's immune response by helping to limit tissue damage, fight infections, and restore homeostasis. Examples include C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA), which are often measured in clinical settings to assess the presence and severity of an inflammatory response.
