Procalcitonin Blood Test | Use Normal Range and Price | test for Sepsis and Infection explained here in Hindi by Dr Santosh Singh.
The procalcitonin (PCT) blood test measures levels of procalcitonin a biomarker that rises in response to bacterial infections and sepsis. It helps differentiate bacterial from viral infections guiding antibiotic use. Elevated levels suggest systemic bacterial infection while low levels indicate viral infections or non-infectious inflammation. The test is commonly used in critical care settings to assess sepsis severity and monitor treatment response. Factors like kidney dysfunction or trauma can also raise PCT levels. It provides faster results than blood cultures aiding early diagnosis. However clinical correlation is essential as conditions like major surgery or burns can also elevate PCT.
