Canine C-reactive protein (cCRP) Test Kit

Canine C-reactive protein (cCRP) is an acute-phase protein produced in dogs. It is mainly synthesized and secreted by the liver, and its concentration in the blood will rapidly increase when the body is stimulated by infections, inflammations, traumas, etc.

Clinical application:

• Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases:

Bacterial infections: Such as pneumonia, sepsis, etc., the cCRP level usually increases significantly.

Viral infections: Some viral infections may also cause a mild increase in cCRP, but the amplitude is generally smaller than that of bacterial infections.

For example, if a dog shows symptoms such as coughing and fever, and the cCRP level is significantly increased, combined with other clinical symptoms and examinations, it is helpful for the diagnosis of bacterial pneumonia.

• Monitoring of Inflammatory Diseases:

Arthritis: Can be used to assess the control of inflammation and therapeutic effect.

Enteritis: Determine the severity of intestinal inflammation and treatment response.

Taking canine arthritis as an example, regularly detecting cCRP during the treatment process. If its level gradually decreases, it indicates that the treatment is effective and the inflammation is under control.

• Evaluation after Surgery and Trauma:

After surgery: Monitor whether postoperative infections or inflammatory complications occur.

Trauma: Understand the recovery situation after trauma.
