C-Reactive protein

💡Meet C-Reactive Protein!
💉C-reactive protein is a very sensitive blood element that reacts more quickly than others to tissue damage. The presence of reactive protein in blood serum is a sign of an inflammatory process, injury, or the penetration of foreign microorganisms into the body - bacteria, parasites, fungi.
💉C-reactive protein stimulates protective reactions, activates immunity. In the blood serum of a healthy person, it is absent or produced in minimal quantities.
💉C-reactive protein is produced mainly by liver cells, as a reaction to the entry of infectious agents into the human body, trauma, as well as in systemic connective tissue diseases (rheumatic diseases).
🔬When should laboratory tests for C-reactive protein be performed?
🔹Exacerbation of chronic inflammatory diseases;
🔹 Myocardial infarction;
🔹 Assessment of the extent of tissue damage;
🔹 Bacterial or viral infection;
🔹 Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis;
🔹 Rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus;
🔹 Determining the risk of cardiovascular diseases;
🔹 Predicting the severity of inflammatory diseases.
📍When infected with COVID-19, C-reactive protein is one of the most important diagnostic indicators.
📍It is important to consider that for effective use, the indicator must have a quantitative assessment.
