About test
What does PROCALCITONIN measure?
This test measures procalcitonin, a marker that can increase in the blood during certain bacterial infections and widespread inflammatory responses. It may be used to help assess the likelihood or severity of bacterial infection, support monitoring over time, or assist with clinical decisions alongside symptoms and other test results. Results should be interpreted in the overall clinical context.
