    What is a Procalcitonin Test?

    The Procalcitonin test measures the amount of procalcitonin, a protein that increases sharply during severe bacterial infections, in your blood. Normally, procalcitonin levels are very low, but elevated levels can signal a serious infection or sepsis, a critical condition where infection spreads into the bloodstream, causing widespread inflammation and possible organ failure. This test is valuable for distinguishing between bacterial and viral infections, helping determine the need for antibiotics. It is often used in hospitals to diagnose or rule out bacterial infections and sepsis, evaluate the severity of sepsis, guide treatment, and monitor its effectiveness.

    If you're in Mumbai and have symptoms like fever, chills, rapid heartbeat, confusion, or shortness of breath, consider scheduling a Procalcitonin test to gain important insights into your condition.
