Serum C-reactive protein levels after total hip and knee arthroplasty.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Any operation induces an elevation in the level of serum C-reactive protein (CRP). After hip and knee arthroplasty the maximal values are seen on the second and third postoperative days, after which the CRP decreases rapidly. There is no difference between patients with cemented or uncemented prostheses. Major postoperative complications may cause a further increase in CRP levels at one and two weeks.

C-reactive protein levels after 4 types of arthroplasty
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Postoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in serum appear to reflect surgical trauma. We examined CRP levels after 4 types of arthroplasty. MATERIAL AND METHODS We investigated 102 patients who had total knee arthroplasty (TKA), computer navigation-assisted total knee arthroplasty (NAV-TKA), hip resurfacing arthroplasty (metal on metal, MMSA) and total hip arthropla...
متن کاملC-reactive protein level after total hip and total knee replacement.
Our study has determined the response of C-reactive protein (CRP) after total knee replacement (TKR). The peak level occurs on the second postoperative day and is significantly greater than that after total hip replacement (THR). The level returns to normal at similar times after both procedures. The physiological response to TKR as measured by the area under the CRP/time curve is significantly...
متن کاملInterleukin-6 in Serum and in Synovial Fluid Enhances the Differentiation between Periprosthetic Joint Infection and Aseptic Loosening
The preoperative differentiation between septic and aseptic loosening after total hip or knee arthroplasty is essential for successful therapy and relies in part on biomarkers. The objective of this study was to assess synovial and serum levels of inflammatory proteins as diagnostic tool for periprosthetic joint infection and compare their accuracy with standard tests. 120 patients presenting w...
متن کاملSerum C-Reactive Protein and Procalcitonin Kinetics in Patients Undergoing Elective Total Hip Arthroplasty
BACKGROUND The sensitivity and the specificity of different methods to detect periprosthetic infection have been questioned. The current study aimed to investigate the kinetics of C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) in patients undergoing uncomplicated elective total hip arthroplasty (THA), to provide a better interpretation of their levels in noninfectious inflammatory reaction. ...
متن کاملHip and knee arthroplasty: a comparison and the endocrine, metabolic and inflammatory responses.
Changes in circulating levels of catecholamines, cortisol, glucose, interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein and in the leucocyte count were investigated for 7 days after surgery in 158 patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty. We compared the responses to the two operations, and also examined the effects of pathology (osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis) on the changes associated with knee...
