Tracking Perioperative Inflammation over Time: A Prospective Observational Study on the Longitudinal Dynamics of CRP and GDF-15.
Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a well-established marker of systemic inflammation, while Growth Differentiation Factor-15 (GDF-15) has emerged as a potential biomarker of cellular stress. Their relative perioperative dynamics remain incompletely defined. This prospective observational study aimed to explicitly characterize...
