<prompt> All of the following are positive acute phase reactants except___.AlbuminSerum amyloid SAAC-reactive protein CRPFibrinogen  <response>: Acute-phase proteins are plasma proteins, mostly synthesized in the liver, whose plasma concentrations may increase several hundred-fold as part of the response to inflammatory stimuli.Three of the best-known of these proteins are:C-reactive protein CRP.Fibrinogen. Serum amyloid A SAA protein. Acute-phase proteins have beneficial effects during acute inflammation, but prolonged production of these proteins especially SAA in states of chronic inflammation can, in some cases, cause secondary amyloidosis.Chronically elevated plasma concentrations of hepcidin reduce the availability of iron and are responsible for the anemia associated with chronic inflammation.Albumin is a negative acute-phase protein, which is decreased in plasma concentration during acute phase response.Reference-Robbins BASIC PATHOLOGY 10th edition pg-87
