Clinical value of CRP in acute aggressive period old patients with COPD

Abstract

Objective To explore clinical value of C-reactive protein(CRP) in acute aggressive period old patients with COPD. Methods 210 old patients in acute aggressive period with COPD were selected,who used antibiotic ,cortin or febrifuge and anodyne before. CRP,WBC,ESR and temperature were detected before and after controlling infection. Results The positive rate of CRP, WBC, ESR and temperature was 92. 38%, 27.62% ,48.57% and 46.67% respectively. The level of CRP is significant over WBC,ESR and temperature( P <0.01). The level of CRP were 58. 66±15.20 and 8.26±1.24 respectively at before and after controlling in-fection(P<0.01). The level of WBC were 8.69±2.60 and 5.34±1.48 respectively at before and after can-trolling infection(P<0.01). The level of ESR were 36.81±14.23 and 24.52±14.61 respectively at before and after controlling infection (P<0.01). The level of temperature were 37.29±0.78℃ and 36.26±0.37℃ respectively at before and after controlling infection (P<0.01). Conclusion CRP is a good marker in acute aggressive period old patients with COPD and it isn't disturbed by antibiotic,cortin or febrifuge and anodyne.
