Chapter 28 discusses acute-phase response, which is a major pathophysiological phenomenon that accompanies inflammation. The acute-phase response accompanies both acute and chronic inflammatory states. It can occur in association with a wide variety of disorders, including infection, trauma, infarction, inflammatory arthritides, and various neoplasms. Acute-phase proteins are defined as those proteins whose plasma concentrations change by at least 25% during inflammatory states. These changes largely reflect their production by hepatocytes.
