Preferred Label : Ultra High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Measurement;
NCIt synonyms : Ultra High Sensitivity CRP Measurement; uhs-CRP; uhsCRP;
NCIt definition : The determination of the amount of C-reactive protein (CRP) present in a sample, usually
serum from a blood draw from a subject that does not have a chronic inflammatory condition,
through the use of an enhanced particle-enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay. This test
is optimized to measure lower concentrations of CRP than a conventional CRP test.
Accuracy is enhanced to ultra high levels through the use of a proprietary set of
calibrated CRP samples.;
