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.

PROCALCITONIN IN SEPSIS AND ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY

PROCALCITONIN PCT

Procalcitonin (PCT) is the precursor of the hormone calcitonin hormone. Under usual conditions, the PCT is 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. PCT levels in healthy individuals are <0.1 ng/ml.

Role Of Procalcitonin In Human Body

Procalcitonin (PCT)

Procalcitonin (PCT) is the pre-cursor of the 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 the level of procalcitonin in the blood of healthy individuals is low. Therefore, it is typically undetectable in Healthy persons.

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).

An ELISA Reader & Washer – A Beginners Guide to Buying

The ELISA Reader is an integral part of most mid-size laboratory systems today. ELISA tests cover a broad spectrum of tests from Infectious to Vector-Borne to Wellness related diseases. This instrument is a microprocessor-controlled, general purpose photometer system designed to read and calculate the result of assays, which are read in a microtiter plate. Hence the alternate name Microplate Reader. The ELISA Washer or Microplate washer is designed to wash the microwells as a part of the ELISA testing process. The performance of the ELISA test kits and reliability in their test results depend heavily on a good quality ELISA Reader and washer being used for performing the ELISA tests.
