A C-reactive protein (CRP) test is a blood test that measures the amount of a protein called C-reactive protein in your blood. C-reactive protein measures general levels of inflammation in your body. High levels of CRP are caused by infections and many long-term diseases. C-reactive protein (CRP) test is done to:

• Check for infection after surgery. CRP levels normally rise within 2 - 6 hours of surgery and then go down by the third day after surgery. If CRP levels stay elevated 3 days after surgery, an infection may be present.
• Identify and keep track of infections and diseases that cause inflammation

Albumin, a major plasma protein, is synthesized in the liver from amino acids which are absorbed from the ileum. Its function includes regulation and distribution of extracellular fluid, transportation of various hormones, vitamins and trace metals.

Increased levels are observed during dehydration due to reduced plasma water content. Even due to stasis during venipuncture which causes fluid to escape into the extravascular compartment.

Decreased levels are observed during excessive protein loss (mainly albumin) - from kidney, skin or intestine. It can also occur during decreased synthesis due to dietary, hepatic disease or malabsorption or increased catabolism due to fever, untreated diabetes mellitus and hypertension.

The ASO test is primarily used to help determine whether a recent strep infection with group A Streptococcus:

• It is the cause of glomerulonephritis, a form of kidney disease and causes rheumatic fever in a person with signs and symptoms

The test may be ordered by itself or along with an anti-DNase B, another test used to detect recent Streptococcus infections. In most cases, strep infections are identified and treated with antibiotics and the infections resolve. In cases where they do not cause identifiable symptoms and/or go untreated, however, complications, namely rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis, can develop in some people, especially young children. The test, therefore, is ordered if a person presents with symptoms suggesting rheumatic fever or glomerulonephritis and has had a recent history of sore throat or a confirmed streptococcal infection.

Packaging Information:

The Triglycerides XL System Pack Kit-Erba is a diagnostic reagent kit used to measure the level of triglycerides in human blood serum or plasma.  

• Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood. High levels of triglycerides can increase the risk of heart disease.  
• This kit uses an enzymatic colorimetric method to determine the triglyceride concentration.  
• It is typically used in clinical laboratories for the diagnosis and management of hyperlipidemia (high blood fat levels).

The Agappe LDL-Cholesterol (D) with Calibrator Reagent is a high-performance diagnostic reagent designed for the direct quantitative determination of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in human serum or plasma. LDL-C is a key marker for cardiovascular risk assessment and is often referred to as "bad cholesterol" due to its role in the development of atherosclerosis and heart disease. This reagent utilizes a direct method to measure LDL-C levels without the need for sample pretreatment or complex calculations. The inclusion of a calibrator ensures accurate, traceable, and reproducible results for routine lipid profiling in clinical laboratories.
