The NADAL® CRP QUANT Test (whole blood/ serum/ plasma) is used for the quantitative determination and monitoring of CRP in human whole blood, serum and plasma. The test is used as an aid in the diagnosis of bacterial infectious diseases and inflammatory processes. The quantitative measurement and evaluation of the test result must be carried out using the nal von minden Colibri. The test is for professional use only.
The C-reactive protein (CRP) is a non specific acute phase protein which is used in the diagnosis of bacterial infectious diseases and inflammatory processes, e.g. acute rheumatic fever and rheumatoid arthritis. CRP values with viral infections will not increase in the same way as with bacterial infections, therefore this parameter can contribute to their differentiation. CRP is a protein which is formed during an acute inflammatory process, predominantly by the liver. A positive test result suggests the presence, not the cause, of an acute inflammatory reaction. The synthesis of CRP is initiated by antigen-immune complexes, bacteria, fungi, and trauma. Monitoring the levels of CRP in patients’ sera indicates the effectiveness of treatment and the assessment of patient recovery. The CRP test is a more sensitive and rapidly responding indicator than the erythrocyte sedimentation rate. This test is also useful in evaluating patients with an acute myocardial infarction. In such cases, the level of CRP correlates with peak levels of the MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase, but CRP peaks occur 1 to 3 days later. Failure of CRP to normalise may indicate ongoing damage to the heart tissue. Levels are not elevated in patients with angina.
The minimum detection level is 2 mg/L.
