Evaluation of two new high-sensitivity methods for C-reactive protein

Evaluation of two new high- sensitivity C-reactive protein methods

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein methods examined.

Evaluation of four automated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein methods: implications for clinical and epidemiological applications.

BACKGROUND C-reactive protein (CRP) can provide prognostic information about the risk of developing atherosclerotic complications in apparently healthy patients. This new clinical application requires quantification of CRP concentrations below those traditionally measured in the clinical laboratory. METHODS The Dade Behring BN II, the Abbott IMx, the Diagnostic Products Corporation IMMULITE, ...

Evaluation of High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein in Acute Asthma

BACKGROUND High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is an inflammatory marker known to be related to inflammation, infection, and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate hs-CRP level in serum of asthmatics and its relationship with pulmonary function tests, serum IgE levels, and peripheral blood white blood cell (WBC) counts. MATERIALS AND METHODS The under study su...

Comparison of Two Methods: Qualitative and Quantitative Study of C - Reactive Protein

Abstract Background and Objective: C - reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase protein produced in liver. It is less than 5 mg per deciliter in the serum and body fluids of normal individuals, but it is increased suddenly within a few hours following inflammatory reaction. In bacterial and viral infections, active rheumatic fever, acute myocardial infarction and rheumatoid arthritis are a...
