The relationship between high sensitive C-Reactive protein
levels and treatment response in patients with
major depression Medaim Yanık, Özcan Erel, Abdurrahman Altındağ, Mahmut Katı.
| A B S T R A C T | | Abstract Objective: Many previous studies conducted about the levels of
C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients with ajor depression presented
contradictory results which ight be a result of limitations in
measurement of serum levels of CRP. However,even minor
alterations of CRP levels can be determined with using recently
developed high sensitive CRP (hs-CRP) measurement method. Till
now, there have not been any studies investigating for CRP levels in
major depressive patients using hs-CRP method. The aim of this study
was to determine serum hs-CRP levels in patients with major
depression who were treated with various antidepressants and to
compare with those of healthy controls.
Methods: Twenty-three patients who are diagnosed clinically as
major depression and 26 healthy controls were included in this study.
The severity of the depression was quantified with 17-item Hamilton
Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D). Serum hs-CRP levels were
measured before and after antidepressant treatment of eight weeks.
Results: Serum hs-CRP levels were found as 0.75 ± 0.34 mg/dl and
0.76 ± 0.48 mg/dl before and after treatment respectively in major
depression group. The difference was not statistically significant
according to paired samples T test (p>0.05). The level of healthy
group was 0.71 ± 0.49 mg/dl and the difference between control
group and major depression group was also insignificant (p>0.05).
Discussion: The results of this study showed that serum CRP levels in
major depressive patients as measured with hs-CRP measurement
method ? a 30 fold ore sensitive method for CRP serum levels than the
methods used in previous studies-do not show any significant
differences from healthy control group and do not change in quantity
with various antidepressant treatments. Key words: high sensitive C reactive protein, hs-CRP, C-reactive

Majör depresyonda hassas C-reaktif protein düzeyleri
ve tedavi ile ilişkisi Özet Amaç: Majör depresyonda C-reaktif protein (CRP)düzeyleri ile ilgili çalı
şmaların sonuçları çelişkilidir. Hassas CRP yöntemi ile (high sensitive,
hs-CRP) CRP ?deki daha küçük değişimler saptanabilir. Literatürde majör
depresyonlu hastalarda hs-CRP yöntemi ile CRP düzeylerini
araştıran her hangi bir çalışma yoktur. Bu çalışmada Majör depresyonlu
hastaların hs-CRP düzeylerinin araştırılıp sağlğklı kontrollerle
karşıyaştırılması amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Klinik olarak majör depresyon tanısı konulan 23 kişi ve 26
sağlğklğ kontrol çalışmaya alındı. Depresyonun şiddeti Hamilton
Depresyon Ölçeği?nin (HDÖ) 17 maddelik formu ile belirlendi. Hasta
grubunda hs-CRP düzeyleri başlangıçta ve 8 haftalık antidepresan
kullanımından sonra olmak üzere iki kez ölçüldü.
Bulgular: Majör depresyonlu hastaların tedavi öncesi hs-CRP düzeyleri
0.75 ± 0.34mg/dl, tedavi sonrası hs-CRP düzeyleri 0.76 ± 0.48
mg/dl olarak bulundu. Kontrol grubunun hs-CRP düzeyleri ise 0.71 ±
0.49 mg/dl olarak saptandı. Majör depresyonlu hastaların hs-CRP
düzeylerinde kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark
yoktu. Ayrıca tedavi öncesi ve tedavi sonrası hs-CRP düzeylerinde de
değişme saptanmadı (p>0.05).
Sonuçlar: Normal CRP ölçüm yöntemine göre serum CRP düzeyini 30
kat daha hassas düzeyde saptayabilen, hs-CRP yöntemi ile yapılan
bu çalışmanın sonuçları majör depresyonlu hastalarda CRP düzeylerinin
kontrol gruplarına göre farklı olmadığını ve antidepresan tedaviyle
değişmediğini göstermiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: hassas C-reaktif protein, hs-CRP, C-reaktif protein,
akut faz yanıtı, depresyon
