Canine C-reactive protein (CRP)
CRP is an acute phase protein in serum. There are trace amounts of CRP in normal dog serum,and its concentration begins to increase within 4 to 6 hours after inflammatory infection or tissue trauma, and reaches a peakat 24 to 48 hours.
Specifications
After symptoms resolve, CRP levels quickly return to the normal range. Therefore, CRP can be used to diagnose acuteinflammation and trauma to monitor the outcome of rehabilitation after surgery or various treatments, and to monitor the recurrence of disease.
