Parameter
| Biomarker | CRP | Full name | Serum C-reactive protein | Molecular Type | acute phase protein |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Molecular Formula | Molecular Weight | Core Functional Dimensions | Inflammation activity assessment and treatment response monitoring | ||
| Disease | Osteoarthritis (OA) | Disease Subtypes | / | ||
| Organ | Joint (Synovium) | Test Sample / Technology Platform | Serum (colorimetric method, immunoturbidimetric method) | ||
| Pathobiological Mechanisms | Increased liver synthesis upon activation of inflammation reflects the degree of intra-articular inflammation | ||||
| Clinical Availability Status | Widely available | ||||
| Notes and Dynamics | Positively correlated with the patient's pain score, the post-treatment decline indicates effective control of inflammation. | ||||
