NEPHELOMETRY
C-REACTIVE PROTEIN, SERUM (QUANTITATIVE)
C-REACTIVE PROTEIN 69.6 High < 5.0 mg/L
METHOD : NEPHELOMETRY
Interpretation(s)
C-REACTIVE PROTEIN, SERUM (QUANTITATIVE)- Test Description:
A CRP test measures the amount of CRP in the blood to detect inflammation due to acute conditions or to monitor the severity of disease in chronic conditions. CRP is one of
the proteins commonly referred to as acute phase reactants. CRP is distinguished by its rapid response to trauma or infection.Synthesis of CRP increases within 4-6 hours of
onset of inflammation, reaching peak values within 1-2 days. CRP levels also fall quickly after resolution of inflammation since its half life is 6 hours.
This standard CRP test is not to be confused with a hs-CRP test. These are two different tests that measure CRP and each test measures a different range of CRP levels in
the blood for different purposes. The standard CRP test measures high levels of protein observed in diseases that cause significant inflammation.
Test Interpretation:
Increased CRP level: Increasing amount of CRP in the blood suggests the presence of inflammation but will not identify its location or the cause.
Suspected bacterial infection: a high CRP level can confirm that you have a serious bacterial infection.
Chronic inflammatory disease: high levels of CRP suggest a flare-up if you have a chronic inflammatory disease or that treatment has not been effective.
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. Measuring and charting C-reactive protein values can also prove useful in determining disease progress or the effectiveness of
treatments
CRP levels can be elevated in the later stages of pregnancy as well as with the use of birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy (i.e., estrogen). Higher levels of
CRP have also been observed in people who are obese. CRP can also be increased in people who have cancer.
Recommendation: The hs-CRP test precisely detects lower levels of the protein than that measured by the standard CRP test and is also used to evaluate individuals for
risk of cardiovascular disease. It measures CRP in the range from 0.15 to 20 mg/L.
Limitation:
CRP levels in autoimmune diseases may show little or no increase unless infection is present. Levels may not increase in conditions like pregnancy, angina, seizures,
asthma, common cold. The main limitation of CRP is in its non-specific response and should not be interpreted without a complete clinical history and evaluation.
