C-reactive protein (CRP)
C-reactive
protein (CRP) is an acute phase protein which is synthesised in the liver.
Inflammatory processes, bacterial infections, polytrauma, myocardial infarction
and certain other diseases (e.g. M. Bechterew, M. Crohn, rheumatoid arthritis)
are accompanied by a significant increase of the CRP concentration. Following surgery
the CRP concentration will also be elevated. It has been shown that
persistently increased CRP levels may indicate a bad prognosis for the patients
outcome. Therefore monitoring of the CRP concentration can be helpful to
initiate necessary treatment in time.
Immunoturbidimetric
test for the quantitative determination of C-reactive protein in human serum
and plasma.
