Our study has determined the response of C-reactive protein (CRP) after total knee replacement (TKR). The peak level occurs on the second postoperative day and is significantly greater than that after total hip replacement (THR). The level returns to normal at similar times after both procedures. The physiological response to TKR as measured by the area under the CRP/time curve is significantly greater than that after THR. Rising CRP levels after the third postoperative day may indicate a complication of surgery such as infection.
我们的研究确定了全膝关节置换术（TKR）后C反应蛋白（CRP）的反应情况。峰值出现在术后第二天，且显著高于全髋关节置换术（THR）后的峰值。两种手术术后在相似时间CRP水平均恢复正常。通过CRP/时间曲线下面积测量，TKR的生理反应显著大于THR。术后第三天后CRP水平升高可能表明存在手术并发症，如感染。
