Can Procalcitonin be high in non-septic conditions?

Yes, procalcitonin level can increase in conditions like multiple organ failure, trauma, chronic pancreatitis and hypovolemia.

Can viruses cause increased levels of procalcitonin?

Procalcitonin can increase during viral infection in lungs.

Can high procalcitonin levels be a cardiac marker?

Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers the procalcitonin test in Jamnagar  to determine the procalcitonin levels in blood. Procalcitonin is a biomarker used to detect bacterial infections.

Overview of the Procalcitonin test

The procalcitonin test is a valuable diagnostic tool, as it can detect serious bacterial infection or sepsis by measuring the level of procalcitonin in one's blood. Normally, these levels remain low; however, during a bacterial infection, cells from may tissues will release high amounts of this protein into one's bloodstream - making this test highly effective for detecting such infections.

Book a procalcitonin test near you to determine the level of procalcitonin biomarker levels in blood in response to an infection. Sterling Accuris offers a highly sensitive procalcitonin test in Jamnagar  with timely reports.
