Procalcitonin Detection (PCT) Clinical Significance Disposal suggestions
PCT Overview
Procalcitonin (PCT) is a glycoprotein with no hormone activity discovered by Assicot et al. in 1993. It is mainly produced under the stimulation of bacterial toxins and inflammatory cytokines, and generally does not increase under non-infectious inflammation. . At present, it has been used as an important indicator to distinguish bacteria and sepsis at home and abroad.
Clinical Significance Of PCT
- The first choice marker for sepsis diagnosis and detection
- Differential diagnosis of bacterial infection and viral infection
- Instruct the use of antibiotics
| PCT concentration (ng/ml) | Clinical significance | Disposal suggestions |
| <0.05 | Normal value | |
| 0.1~0.25 | Bacterial infection is unlikely | Antibiotics are not recommended |
| 0.25~0.5 | No or mild systemic inflammation, which may be local inflammation or local infection | It is recommended to find infections or other causes of increased PCT, and antibiotics are recommended |
| 0.5~2 | Moderate systemic inflammation, infection may exist, or other conditions, such as inflammatory trauma, major surgery, cardiogenic shock | It is recommended to look for possible infection factors. If infection is found, it is recommended to review the PCT after 6-24 hours. |
| 2-10 | It is likely to be sepsis, severe sepsis, or septic shock, with a high risk of organ dysfunction | It is recommended to review the PCT daily. If the PCT continues to be high (>4d): Reconsider the sepsis treatment plan. |
| ≧10 | Almost all are severe sepsis or septic shock, often accompanied by organ failure, with a high risk of death | It is recommended to monitor PCT daily to evaluate the treatment effect |
PCT performance index
| Detection range | sample size | Sample type | Test time |
| 0.1~100ng/mL | 60μl | Whole blood / serum / plasma | 15min |
