CRP stands for C-reactive protein, a plasma protein produced by the liver that increases in conditions such as inflammation, infection, and tissue damage.CRP can be measured with a blood test and is commonly used to assess the level and severity of inflammation.Measurements of CRP are strongly correlated with the level of inflammation in the body and with the degree of emergency.
:Role of CRP testing in clinical applications
CRP testing has become a commonly used indicator in clinical applications. It can be used to determine the extent of infection or inflammation, to monitor levels of inflammation in cancer, cardiovascular or neurological diseases, to predict the progression and efficacy of certain serious illnesses, and even as a diagnostic basis for certain diseases. By detecting changes in CRP, it can provide important therapeutic decisions and individualized medical care in clinical applications.
CRP testing is typically done using blood measurements, a process that is simple, quick, non-invasive, and can be done by patients at home. Excluding regular foods from the CRP test, getting enough rest, and consuming enough fluids can help ensure the accuracy of the test results. If the CRP value is abnormally high, it is necessary to seek immediate medical help and advice to rationalize the treatment plan and improve recovery.
