Description
Procalcitonin (PCT) is the precursor of calcitonin (CT), a hormone involved with calcium homeostasis. The level of PCT elevates in the blood stream in response to a pro-inflammatory stimulus originating from bacteria. PCT can be a useful marker for the early diagnosis of systemic bacterial infection and sepsis.
