NMR ‘glyc’ inflammation marker described as more stable than CRP

402 ‒ NMR blood analysis: how mortality risk and more can be assessed from a single blood sample
What was said
""it's a very stable parameter because it's the integration of lots of different things. So rather than CRP that you typically measure clinically to assess inflammation, it's very volatile.""
Otvos explains that an NMR signal known as “glyc” reflects glycan components on multiple acute-phase proteins and is correlated with inflammatory markers such as IL‑6. He argues it is less day-to-day variable than high-sensitivity CRP and can add independent predictive value in risk models.
