Serum Procalcitonin

Procalcitonin (PCT) is a biomarker used to assess bacterial infections and sepsis. The test involves a blood sample, typically drawn from a vein. No special preparation is needed, though fasting may be required in some cases. During the test, expect minimal discomfort from the needle insertion. Potential risks include slight bleeding, bruising, or infection at the needle site. Results are interpreted based on PCT levels—higher levels suggest bacterial infection, while lower levels may indicate viral infections or absence of severe infection. Conditions like kidney disease or recent surgery can affect results.
