			<p>Fifty cases were screened for CRP those who are having various ailments including
high blood pressure, diabetic mellitus with polyneuropathy, oral cavity infection
and hepato-spleenomegaly of different aetiologies. In this hospital (Sree Narayana
Medical Trust, Varkala) we have screened the serum samples by latex agglutination
test. It is a specific test. CRP is a more sensitive and accurate reflection of the acute
phase response than the ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate). CRP appears and
disappears more quickly than changes in ESR. There for your CRP level may drop
to normal following successful treatment, whereas ESR may remain elevated for a
longer period. CRP levels will be very high in the arthritis, increased serum CRP
concentrations are positively associated with the risk of future coronary events such
as coronary artery dices cerebrovascular dices, peripheral arterial dices. The use of
CRP for these purposes requires the use of hs CRP assay that have detection limits
less than 0.3mg/L. Several automated immunoturbidimetric and
immunonephelometric assays are commercially available and are capable of
sensitive and precise measurements at low concentrations of CRP. hs CRP to be a
stronger predications of risk than LDL cholesterol.</p>
