DEFINITION

Proteins that are secreted into the blood in increased or decreased quantities by hepatocytes in response to trauma, inflammation, or disease. These proteins can serve as inhibitors or mediators of the inflammatory processes. Certain acute-phase proteins have been used to diagnose and follow the course of diseases or as tumor markers.
Proteínas secretadas al torrente sanguíneo en cantidades aumentadas o disminuidas por hepatocitos en respuesta a un trauma, una inflamación o una enfermedad.
