Specific Clinical Application | The cCRP analyzer provides in-clinic results for canine C-Reactive Protein, useful at various stages in canine care. The cCRP can confirm the presence of underlying inflammation during a regular check-up. If therapy is needed, it can continuously monitor the efficacy of treatment to determine disease severity and response. After surgery, it is a useful marker of surgery-related systemic inflammation and can help with clinical decision-making during recovery. |
A Simple Test to Check for C-Reactive Protein in Dogs
C-Reactive Protein (CRP) normally exists at a very low concentration in healthy dogs. After an inflammatory stimulation such as infection, trauma or illness, the CRP can increase in just 4 hours. Testing at the onset of an inflammatory stimulation can guide critical, proper treatment in canine care. The CRP is a valuable test that provides a real-time inflammatory marker. The ability to have follow-up results can indicate the canine’s condition, helping determine recovery or if further treatments are necessary.
What is C-reactive protein (CRP)1?
• Major acute-phase proteins (APPs) produced in the liver
• Exists at very low concentrations in healthy dogs
• Increase within 4~6 hours after inflammatory stimulus
• Rising 10 to 100 times and peaking within 24–48 hours
• Decreases within 24 hours after resolution
