(clinical chemistry NycoCard II) CRP TEST
Definition
NycoCard CRP is a immunochemichal assay for quantitative determination of C-reactive proteine, in capillary or venous blood, serum or plasma (with heparin, citrate, EDTA or no anti-coagulant). This measurement provides information for detection and evaluation of infection, inflammatory disorders and associated diseases. The standard rate is very stable in adults as in the newborn. There is no influence of the rate by pregnancy, steroid hormones, genetic polymorphism or micro-heterogeneity.
