CRP assay

Description

Intended Use

For the quantitative in vitro determination of CRP in human serum or plasma. This product is suitable for automated, semi-automated and manual use.

Clinical Significance

CRP is one of the proteins commonly referred to as acute phase reactants. CRP is distinguished by its rapid response to trauma or infection. The rise in concentration of CRP occurs much earlier (in four to six hours) than for other acute phase reactants which usually take more than 24 hours to produce a detectable signal in serum. In addition CRP levels return to normal quickly at the end of the acute episode. Measurement of CRP aids in evaluation of the amount of injury to body tissues.

Testing for CRP is indicated in the following clinical situations: monitoring recovery from surgery; myocardial infarction; transplantation; inflammatory bowel disease; rheumatic diseases, and infectious diseases.
