After multivariate analysis, and adjustment for age, body mass index, tobacco, alcohol, duration of diabetes, TT, bioavailable testosterone, vitamin D and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, we found that only high-sensitivity C-reactive protein was significantly predictive of ED.
In this study, we assessed the diagnostic accuracy of LBP for sepsis in the emergency department (ED) patients, comparing it with more established biomarkers of sepsis, including procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP).
Severe ED (62.8% vs 43.8%, <i>P</i>=0.037), mild-to-moderate ED (12.2% vs 5.2%, <i>P</i>=0.016), abdominal obesity (37.2% vs 22.9%, <i>P</i>=0.003), metabolic syndrome (38.4% vs 19.2%, <i>P</i>=0.026), proteinuria (0.83±0.68 vs 0.69±0.48 mg/dL, <i>P</i>=0.023), and C-reactive protein (6.1±4.9 vs 4.1±3.6 mg/L, <i>P</i><0.001) were high; high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (48.8±14.0 vs 52.6±13.5 mg/dL, <i>P</i>=0.009), and albumin (4.02±0.53 vs 4.18±0.38 g/dL, <i>P</i>=0.001) were low in the hypomagnesemia group.
We evaluate the correlation between the plasma level of C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) and hypertension and to set up whether the CRP level affected by the treatment of vardenafil 10 mg orally once daily.
