But the erythrocyte sedimentation rate is slightly faster, and there is no big problem.
CRP is strongly positive, which mainly indicates acute infection.
C reactive protein
[English abbreviation ]CRP
[Reference value] Rate turbidimetry:
【 Clinical Significance 】 C-reactive protein is a diagnostic index of bacterial infection and severe tissue damage. Its rise can be seen in:
1. A series of acute and chronic inflammatory diseases such as tissue injury, infection, tumor and myocardial infarction, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic vasculitis and polymyalgia rheumatism.
2. Postoperative infection and complications indicators: CRP level of patients increased after operation, and it should decrease at 7- 10 days after operation. If CRP does not decrease or increase again, it may be complicated with infection or thromboembolism.
3. It can be used as a differential diagnosis between bacterial infection and viral infection: most bacterial infections will lead to the increase of serum CRP in patients, while most viral infections will not.
4. In recent years, it has been pointed out that the determination of CRP by high-sensitivity latex enhancement method can improve the sensitivity of determination and can be used to predict the risk of coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction.
