Procalcitonin
| Material: | 1 ml serum (stability in serum at 4-8 °C: 1 day) |
| Methods: | Ligandenassays → Chemilumineszenz Mikropartikel Immunoassay (CMIA) | Reference range | < 0,1 µg/l Cutoff for sepsis: > 0,5 µg/l Cutoff for severe sepsis: > 2,0 µg/l |
| Indication | Detection of an acute bacterial infection (es. sepsis) |
| Please note | As result of a systemic bacterial, fungal or protozoic infection, the procalcitonin levels rise significantly. In contrast during a viral infection only slight increases are observed, which is also the case within localized bacterial infections and inflammatory reactions of autoimmune origins. |
