Aim of the test: to aid the detection of acute inflammation (detection of CRP and SAA).Background:C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute phase protein produced by the liver. Elevated levels are associated with acute infections, necrotic conditions and a number of inflammatory disorders. There is a close link between serum levels of CRP and the inflammatory process. Monitoring the patient’s serum CRP level is an indicator of the effectiveness of treatment and the patient’s recovery. Serum amyloid A (SAA) is an acute phase protein produced mainly by the liver. In the acute phases of inflammation, the rise in SAA levels is one of the most rapid and intense of all acute phase proteins. Besides CRP, SAA is now the most important marker of inflammation. Its presence also correlates with the inflammation characteristic of rheumatoid diseases.
