KROK 1 2021 – Question 114 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
Blood plasma of a healthy person contains several dozens of protein types. If a person becomes ill, new types of proteins develop in the body. Among them there are acute phase proteins. Name one such protein:
- A. Prothrombin
- B. Immunoglobulin G
- C. C-reactive protein
- D. Immunoglobulin A
- E. Fibrinogen
Hint
Look for a protein that is practically absent from healthy plasma but is made by the liver within hours of inflammation or tissue damage under the influence of interleukin-6.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
