Serum high-sensitivity CRP assay

Hypersensitive-CRP has been shown to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease caused by chronic inflammation. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is an important predictor of inflammatory markers and cardiovascular disease risk. The intervention and prognosis of vascular disease play an important role in clinical attention. Basic Information Specialist classification: growth and development examination classification: blood examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Tips: Do not take certain drugs (such as birth control pills, thyroid hormones, steroid hormones, etc.) that can affect blood lipid levels before the test. Normal value Compared with healthy controls and angina patients, AMI patients had a significant increase in high-sensitivity CRP within 6 hours of onset. The inflammatory process has been shown to be one of the causes of plaque rupture, and an increase in serum high-sensitivity CRP within 6 hours by AMI authors can be considered to be prone to plaque rupture. Clinical significance Abnormal results: Serum high-sensitivity CRP levels in patients with AMI were significantly higher than those in patients with angina (2.7 ± 2.3 mg / L and 1.4 ± 0.7 mg / L, p < 0.0001) and normal controls (2.7 ± 2.3 mg / L and 1.0 ± 0.6) Mg/L, p<0.0001). There was no significant difference in the onset of AMI <3 hours and >3 hours but <6h (2.7±2.5 mg/L and 2.7±2.2 mg/L, p=0.87). However, there was a significant difference between 6 hours and <6 hours (14.1 ± 16.5 mg/L and 2.7 ± 2.3 mg/L, p < 0.0001). People who need to be examined: long-term smoking, high blood pressure, obesity, lack of exercise. Precautions Forbidden before examination: It is forbidden to take certain drugs (such as birth control pills, thyroid hormones, steroid hormones, etc.) to affect blood lipid levels. Requirements for examination: There should be no history of acute illness, injury or surgery in the near future. Inspection process Blood samples were taken for blood lipids, fasting blood glucose, and serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), which were determined by scatter nephelometry using a double antibody sandwich ABC ELISA method. Not suitable for the crowd In normal blood lipids, it is not easy for CPR to rise in regular exercise. Adverse reactions and risks Discomfort: There may be pain, swelling, tenderness, and visible subcutaneous ecchymosis at the puncture site.
