Clinical Information | |
| Reference Intervals | Reference Range: <5 mg/L |
| Test Method | An immunoturbidometric method analysed on Abbott c8000 series analyser, with Abbott reagents. |
| Advanced Notice | Not required |
| Patient Preparation | Not required |
Comments | |
| Results below 5 mg/L rule out numerous acute inflammatory diseases but do not exclude inflammatory processes in general. Elevated CRP results up to 50 mg/L occur in the presence of slight to moderate inflammatory processes. CRP results above 50 mg/L indicate high and extensive inflammatory activity. | |
