Procalcitonin Biomarker Test
A Procalcitonin test is used to measure the level of Procalcitonin in your blood. A Procalcitonin test is mostly needed when you’re seriously ill and the doctor thinks of a systemic infection. Symptoms of sepsis include fever or chills, confusion, extreme pain, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, low blood pressure, and others. In case of emergency, book one of our London Blood Tests clinic’s blood test for Procalcitonin.

What is Procalcitonin and why is it important in the body
Procalcitonin is a pro-hormone that is specific for bacterial infection. Being highly sensitive provides information about the risk of the presence of a bacterial infection, and also its severity.
What do results mean?
High Procalcitonin levels mean the possibility of having sepsis, or systemic bacterial infection.
Moderate Procalcitonin levels mean the possibility of early stages of sepsis, kidney infections for kids or tissue damage from trauma, severe burns, severe heart attack, and others.
There are no risks during a Procalcitonin test?
Procalcitonin level testing has almost no risks except for a slight pain or a bruising spot where the blood sample was extracted.
