The Clinical Significance of Joint Detection of Serum Prealbumin and C-reactive Protein

Objective:Through detecting serum prealbumin to evaluate the importance of prealbumin in many fields of clinical application and the clinical value of the joint detection with C-reactive protein.Method:Serum prealbumin was measured by immunoturbidimetic assay,and C-reactive protein was measured by immune scatter turbidimetry.Results:Serum prealbumin level in patients was(105.0±86.4)mg/L which was lower than that of the control group,and the difference between the two groups was obvious(P0.01).C-reactive protein level in patients was(41.2±36.8)mg/L which was higher than that of the control group,and there was significant difference between the two groups(P0.01).Conclusion:The content of serum prealbumin is decreased in patients with liver disease,nephropathy,head injury and acute injury and acute inflammation,while C-reactive protein level is increased.The joint detection is a sensitive index in the evaluation of severity of patients.
