What reason is procalcitonin high

summary

Procalcitonin is a strange term to us, not to mention the normal value of procalcitonin, which we don't know any more. Therefore, in view of this problem, I have done some research recently, and I will tell you about it.

What reason is procalcitonin high

First: calcitonin is an indicator of bacterial infection in children's body. It is relatively sensitive. The normal value is within 10. If it exceeds this value, it means that there is a certain bacterial infection.

Second: procalcitonin is a kind of protein. When bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections, sepsis and multiple organ failure occur, its level in plasma increases.

Third: calcitonin is actually an indicator of human bacterial infection, which will be higher than the general level at the time of birth. In this way, we don't need to worry too much, and we can review it in a few days.

matters needing attention

So once procalcitonin abnormal, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time, choose the method suitable for their own timely conditioning.
