Explanation / Answer

Increased or decreased synthesis refers to their plasma concentration during inflammation. Acute phase proteins are indicators of inflammation. In case of inflammation, positive acute phase proteins have increased levels and negative acute phase proteins have decreased levels. To find whether someone has inflammation, test of either one is sufficient.
