    What is a Procalcitonin Test?

    The Procalcitonin test measures procalcitonin levels in your blood, a protein that significantly rises during severe bacterial infections. Normally, procalcitonin levels are low, but elevated levels may indicate serious infections or sepsis, a critical condition where infection enters the bloodstream, causing widespread inflammation and potential organ failure. This test is useful for distinguishing between bacterial and viral infections and determining the need for antibiotics. It's commonly used in hospital settings to diagnose or exclude bacterial infections, assess sepsis severity, guide treatment decisions, and monitor treatment efficacy.

    If you're in Hyderabad and experience symptoms like fever, chills, rapid heartbeat, confusion, or shortness of breath, consider getting a Procalcitonin test to help manage your condition effectively.
