Serum high sensitive C-reactive protein level and its correlation with lipid profile among dyspeptic patients with or without Helicobacter pylori infection in East Gojjam zone, Ethiopia

Abstract

Serum high sensitive C reactive levels had a negative correlation with high-density lipoprotein and a positive correlation with total cholesterol among <i>Helicobacter pylori</i>-positive dyspeptic patients. Therefore, the significant interaction between serum lipid levels and inflammation exacerbates the potential risk of cardiovascular disorders among <i>Helicobacter pylori</i>-positive dyspeptic patients.
