PRIMA Home Test - C-Reactive Protein Screening for Bacterial Infections and Inflammatory Conditions (1 Test) Swiss Quality

What is C-reactive protein? C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein produced by the liver and is quickly released into the blood in response to an inflammatory process in the body that can be caused by a variety of conditions including bacterial or viral infections, arthritis and joint injuries, as well as other inflammatory conditions. Conversely, its levels drop quickly when the inflammation has subsided, giving important clues in therapeutic monitoring. For this reason, it is the most widely used laboratory test in clinical practice for initial screening for inflammatory conditions and their monitoring. What does the CRP test detect? The PRIMA C-reactive protein test is a semi-quantitative rapid test device for detecting CRP in capillary blood samples. Its concentration in the blood is an indication of the severity of the inflammation and its possible cause: a result above 80 mg/L is strongly linked to the presence of bacterial inflammation, which is why targeted antibiotic treatment is required. By measuring CRP, the prescription of antibiotics worldwide has been reduced by 20%. SYMPTOMS, INFLAMMATION AND INFECTIONS. Symptoms may vary depending on the affected part of the body and the severity of the inflammation. Some of the most common symptoms of inflammation include redness, pain and local warmth. If the inflammation is caused by viruses, bacteria or fungi, flu symptoms such as fatigue, fever, sore throat, cough and headache or nausea, vomiting, irritability, rash, injuries and abscesses occur. Simple and safe. The semi-quantitative CRP test contains all the necessary elements to carry out the procedure safely, including instructions in German and a video tutorial showing how to easily perform sampling.
