  Procalcitonin  
     
  Early detection and specific clinical intervention has been shown to be crucial for the improved outcome of patients with sepsis. However, sepsis can be difficult to distinguish from other, non-infectious conditions in critically ill patients with clinical signs of acute inflammation. Therefore, in the early phase of the disease process it may be difficult to decide on the appropriate therapeutic measures for the individual patient. Additional specific information may be helpful to increase the accuracy of sepsis diagnosis at an early stage. A parameter which fulfils these demands to a high degree is Procalcitonin (PROCALCITONIN (PCT)).
