Evaluation of a novel quantitative canine species-specific point-of-care assay for C-reactive protein
BACKGROUND Species-specific point-of-care tests (POCT) permit a rapid analysis of canine C-reactive protein (CRP), enabling veterinarians to include CRP in clinical decisions. Aim of the study was to evaluate a novel POCT for canine CRP (Point Strip™ Canine CRP Assay) run on a small in-house-analyzer (Point Reader™ V) using lithium heparin plasma and to compare assay performance to an already e...
متن کاملAssociation of C-reactive protein (CRP) gene polymorphisms, serum CRP levels and cervical cancer prognosis.
BACKGROUND C-reactive protein (CRP) is the prototypical biomarker of inflammation. Genetic variations within the CRP gene have been shown to be associated with alterations of CRP expression and prognosis in cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between four polymorphisms of the CRP gene, CRP serum levels, clinicopathological parameters of cervical cancer and...
متن کاملSerum C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Target for Therapy or Trouble?
High sensitivity serum C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) has come into clinical use as a marker of risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). In addition to a role as a marker of disease, CRP has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of CVD. Specific small-molecule inhibitors of CRP have recently been developed with the intent of mitigating cardiac damage during acute myocardial infarction. However, t...
متن کاملPoint-of-care test (POCT) INR: hope or illusion?
In the last decade, point-of-care tests were developed to provide rapid generation of test results. These tests have increasingly broad applications. In the area of hemostasis, the international normalized ratio, INR point-of-care test (POCT INR), is the main test of this new proposal. This test has great potential benefit in situations where the quick INR results influences clinical decision m...
متن کاملEvaluation of a POCT device for C-reactive protein, hematocrit and leukocyte differential.
The area of point-of-care testing (POCT) is rapidly growing and holds great promise in terms of speed, accessibility, patient empowerment and improved dialogue between health care practitioners and patients [1]. Although for many POC tests the added value in clinical decision making has not yet been firmly established [2], a number of studies have recently appeared on the value of POCT measurem...
