An Evaluated Study of Serum C - reactive protein (CRP) and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) in a Tertiary Care Hospital. Annals of International medical and Dental Research. 2019 Jul; 5(4): 4-62395-28222395-2814http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/188956The aim of the study is to evaluate instead serum C – reactive protein level and Erythrocyte sedimentation rate as a monitoring tool for all patients to determine severity of infection, attending the OPD in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This study was conducted in Department of Microbiology & Pathology in Heritage Institute of Medical Sciences, Varanasi. Serum CRP level was measured by CRP analyzer & ESR by Wintrobe’s method. Results: In above study, A total numbers of 240 cases were included, out of which 43.4% were male and 56.7% were females. Among the total number of patients, 76.7% were CRP positive & rest were CRP negative. While, in case of ESR it was elevated in 63.4% cases & rest were normal before starting the treatment. Conclusion: This study conclude that both CRP and ESR aid in analysis and monitoring of the disease but assessment of serum CRP level is much more sensitive in infections.Erythrocyte sedimentation rateC-reactive proteinInflammationJournal ArticleIndiaAssistant Professor, Department of Microbiology, Heritage Institute Of Medical Sciences, Varanasi, U.P.Associate Professor, Department of Pathology, Narayana Medical College & Hospital, Jamuhar, Sasaram, Bihar.
