Diagnostic Significance of C-Reactive Protein in Acute and Chronic Pelvic Inflammation in Animals (Review)

  • Anastasiya Sergeevna Metleva

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to review the research aimed at the study of C-reactive protein in the blood serum of animals, in particular cattle. The article considers the use of C-reactive protein (CRP) as an indicator and predictor of inflammation diagnosis in animals.  CRP is referred to the "main" proteins of the acute phase (APP) of inflammation in humans and animals because its level increases very quickly (during the first 6-8 hours) and in large amounts (20-100 times). It has been established that the study of CRP in the blood serum of cattle for the diagnosis of inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs (IDPO) is a promising direction in veterinary obstetrics and gynecology. There are few studies in this direction, the results of which are contradictory, which requires further study. In spite of the "fuzzy" limits of the norm of CRP in the blood of cattle, it has been established that a level of more than 60 µg/ml on the 3rd day after calving is a predictor of postpartum endometritis and requires therapeutic measures. But, when studying CRP in cows, it is necessary to take into account the living conditions, because they affect the indices of this protein.
