WHAT IS THE PROCALCITONIN TEST

PROCALCITONIN TEST

Procalcitonin (PCT) is the precursor of the hormone calcitonin. Under normal conditions, the PCT formed in thyroid C cells is converted to calcitonin; as a result, no PCT is released into circulation, and the level of procalcitonin in the blood of healthy individuals is low. Therefore, it is generally undetectable in Healthy persons.

PROCALCITONIN& HEART FAILURE

PROCALCITONIN (PCT)

Procalcitonin (PCT) is the precursor of the hormone calcitonin.It is a 116 amino acid protein with a molecular mass of 13 kDa, encoded by the CALC1 gene. Under normal conditions, the PCT formed in thyroid C cells is converted to calcitonin; as a result, no PCT is released into circulation, and a procalcitonin level in the blood of healthy individuals is low. Therefore, it is normally undetectable in Healthy persons, and PCT levels in healthy individuals are <0.1 ng/ml.

How to use Dengue tests kit for more accurate result

Dengue tests kit

Dengue is among the most rapidly spreading vector-borne diseases in the world. The key to handling dengue infection is its early recognition and a clear grasp of the clinical problems during the different gradual phases of the disease. This will lead to a rational approach to case management and an excellent clinical outcome- a life saved Dengue infection is a dynamic and systematic disease. There are 3 phases of infection; febrile, critical, and recovery. A Patient in the critical phase may have Plasma leakage leading to Dengue shock syndrome (DSS).
