C-reactive protein, CRP

Infections, tissue injuries, and inflammatory disorders may be accompanied by a non-specific elevation of the CRP level in the patient’s blood. The rise in CRP levels is rapid, and increased levels can be detected within 6–12 hours of the onset of the inflammatory process.1 In acute inflammatory processes the CRP levels can reach approximately 20‒500 mg/L.2, 3

Quantitative measurement of CRP concentration has been reported to be a sensitive indicator of the efficacy of antimicrobial therapy and the course of bacterial infections, as well as an effective tool in controlling and monitoring postoperative infections.1, 4−7 The advantages of measuring CRP lie in it being a sensitive, early, and reliable reflector of the acute-phase response. It can also be used for accurate monitoring of the patient’s condition and response to therapy. However, the rise in CRP level is non-specific.

Controls

Use of QC materials is recommended for each day of testing, in accordance with federal, state, and/or local regulations or accreditation requirements. The QuikRead go CRP Control set (145217) is recommended to be used with the QuikRead go CRP test.

The QuikRead go CRP tests are factory-calibrated. The QuikRead go CRP Verification Set (145216) should be used for verification of the calibration in line with CLIA regulations.

Risks and limitations of the procedure

Assay procedures other than those specified in these instructions may yield questionable results. Some substances may interfere with the test results; please see Section “Interference” below.

CRP results should never be used alone, without a complete clinical evaluation. Intraindividual variations in CRP are significant and should be taken into account – e.g., by means of serial measurements – in interpretation of the values.

The QuikRead go CRP test is not intended for use as high sensitivity CRP or cardiac CRP.

Frequently asked questions

I accidentally left a QuikRead go CRP kit at room temperature for a weekend. Can I still use it?

Yes, you can use the kit. The kit can be stored at room temperature (18 - 25 °C, 64-77 °F) for one month. If it is used at room temperature during daily working hours (7.5 hours) and stored at 2 - 8 °C (36-46 °F) after finishing work, the kit will remain stable for 3 months.

The QuikRead go instrument gives me a result of > 150 mg/L, but I would like to get an exact CRP result. Is it possible?

When using plasma/serum samples you can dilute the sample with 0.9% NaCl before adding it to the cuvette. The recommended dilution is 1+3. Remember to multiply the result by 4.
