[Levels of C-reactive protein in serum--comparison of 2 methods used for quantitative determination].

Abstract

The authors compared the results of two methods used for the quantitative assessment of C-reactive protein: the method of radial immunodiffusion and the microturbidimetric method. The testing was based on examination of 68 sera from patients. The samples comprised sera with a CRP concentration under 230 mg/l. There was a statistically significant correlation between the results of the two compared methods (r = 0.949, p = 0.0001).
