Procalcitonin and New Biomarkers
2017Over the last 25 years, procalcitonin (PCT) has increasingly been utilized to identify patients with bacterial sepsis. PCT is a 14.5 kDa protein derived from the CALC-1 gene and belongs to the family of hormones. Released from liver, fat, muscle, and kidney parenchymal cells, PCT has been determined to be quite specific to bacterial infections ...
