    What is a Procalcitonin Test?

    The Procalcitonin test evaluates the level of procalcitonin in your blood, a protein that dramatically increases in response to severe bacterial infections. While typically present at low levels, elevated procalcitonin can indicate serious infections or sepsis, a critical condition where infection spreads into the bloodstream, causing widespread inflammation and possible organ failure. This test is particularly helpful in differentiating bacterial infections from viral ones, guiding antibiotic use. It is frequently utilized in hospitals to diagnose bacterial infections, assess the severity of sepsis, make informed treatment choices, and track treatment progress.

    If you are in Gurgaon and are showing symptoms such as fever, chills, rapid heartbeat, confusion, or shortness of breath, schedule a Procalcitonin test to gain valuable insights for effective management.
