2 in 1(CRP/SAA) Rapid Quantitative Test

The C-reactive protein(CRP) is synthesized by the liver in response to interleukin-6 and is well known as one of the classical acute-phase reactants. It is used as a marker of inflammation and cardiovascular diseases(C-VD). Biotime CRP test includes hs-CRP and normal CRP test parameters which has wider test range.

Serum amyloid A (SAA) is a major acute phase protein in human beings, and dogs. The level of SAA proteins in blood increases within just a few hours following the onset of various inflammatory stimuli. These include infection, trauma and surgery

PCT(Procalcitonin) is a peptide precursor of the hormone calcitonin. Measurement of PCT can be used as an authoritative marker for diagnosis and stratification of sepsis.

Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is an interleukin that acts as both a pro inflammatory cytokine and an anti-inflammatory myokine. osteoblasts secrete IL-6 to stimulate osteoclast formation. Smooth muscle cells in the tunica media of many blood vessels also produce IL-6 as a pro-inflammatory cytokine.

IL-6 is a valuable biomarker for early detection and monitoring of inflammatory conditions, particularly in the context of bacterial infections and sepsis.

Ferr is a universal intracellular protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion. The protein is produced by almost all living organisms, including algae, bacteria, higher plants, and animals. In humans, it acts as a buffer against iron deficiency and iron overload. Ferritin is found in most tissues as a cytosolic protein, but small amounts are secreted into the serum functioning as an iron carrier. Plasma ferritin is also an indirect marker of the total amount of iron stored in the body. Hence serum ferritin is used as a diagnostic test for iron-deficiency anemia.

Cardiac markers are used in the diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with chest pain, suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome(ACS) and Heart Failure(HF), etc.

Thyroxine (T4) is the main thyroid hormone secreted into the bloodstream by the thyroid gland. Together with triiodothyronine (T3) it plays a vital role in regulating the body's metabolic rate, influences the cardiovascular system, growth and bone metabolism, and is important for normal development of gonadal functions and nervous system.
