Changes of Procalcitonin Kinetics According to Renal Clearance in Critically Ill Patients with Primary Gram-Negative Bloodstream Infections

Hasan Selçuk Özger and others

Procalcitonin (PCT) is a biomarker frequently used in the diagnosis and prognosis of infection. The lack of optimum cut-off values and the high serum PCT levels in some non-infectious conditions restrict its clinical use. Therefore, PCT use is not recommended regardless of clinical parameters. This limitation in clinical use has led to PCT kinetic evaluations rather than predictions [...] Read More
