Parameter
| Biomarker | CRP | Full name | C-reactive protein | Molecular Type | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Molecular Formula | / | Molecular Weight | / | Core Functional Dimensions | Diagnosis, screening, and condition assessment |
| Disease | pneumonia | Disease Subtypes | / | ||
| Organ | Lung | Test Sample / Technology Platform | Serum (routine test, hypersensitivity test) | ||
| Pathobiological Mechanisms | Acute time-phase reactive proteins synthesized by inflammation stimulate the liver, bind to polysaccharides or damaged cellular components on the surface of pathogens, activate the complement system, promote phagocytic phagocytosis, and participate in anti-infective immunity. The magnitude of the increase is positively correlated with the severity of inflammation | ||||
| Clinical Availability Status | Widely used in clinical practice: Traditional inflammatory markers, ultrasensitive CRP (hsCRP) further improve the accuracy of low-concentration detection | ||||
| Notes and Dynamics | It is suitable for pneumonia screening, auxiliary diagnosis and severity assessment, and has mature application scenarios | ||||
