CRP Rapid Quantitative Test (Chemiluminescence Immunoassay)

Application 

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a pentameric protein composed of five identical polypeptide chains that form a ring-like structure with a molecular weight of 105,000 Da. CRP is synthesized by liver cells, and its primary function is to bind and facilitate the degradation of endogenous toxins produced as a result of tissue damage. CRP activates the complement system by binding to C1q, which then initiates the opsonization and phagocytosis processes.

In clinical settings, CRP tests are used to assess systemic inflammatory processes (except for specific types of inflammation such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and ulcerative colitis); to confirm whether SLE and ulcerative colitis in patients are active; for therapeutic testing of rheumatic diseases and evaluation of anti-inflammatory therapeutic effects. Highly sensitive CRP (hs-CRP) tests have been used for the early diagnosis of pediatric infections and risk assessment of cardiovascular disease. The full range of CRP measurement is primarily used as a nonspecific indicator of inflammation and for evaluating cardiovascular disease risk.
