Admin

4 years ago

The procalcitonin test is the measure of the levels of calcitonin in the blood. The test is used as an indicator of presence or absence of serious bacterial infections, especially sepsis. High levels of procalcitonin in the blood represent the presence of sepsis in the body.
Sepsis is the severe response of the body against bacterial infection when the bacterial infection spreads from one part the body to other parts through the blood circulation. Sepsis can lead to increased heartbeat, low blood pressure, shortness of the breath, uneasiness, restlessness, and other symptoms.
The procalcitonin test thus helps healthcare providers’ early diagnosis of the sepsis and other bacterial infections in the body before they spread to the other body parts
The procalcitonin test is recommended for patients having symptoms of sepsis or other bacterial infections, fever and chills, sweating, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, extreme pain, and very low blood pressure

High prevalence and rise in incidence rates of sepsis, pneumonia meningitis, and lower respiratory tract infections across the globe primarily drive the global procalcitonin test kits market
For instance, according to the global sepsis alliance foundation, every year around 47 to 50 million people get affected by sepsis and around 11 million people die due to sepsis across the globe
The mortality rates due to sepsis vary from 15% to 50% depending upon the country
The technological advancements in early detection of procalcitonin levels in the blood such as EIA testing, ELISA testing, and point-of-care testing are likely to drive the market during the forecast period
Moreover, increase in usage of procalcitonin test for the optimization of course of antibiotic treatment, newer regulatory guidelines emphasizing on increased usage of procalcitonin tests in the golden hours of treatment, and increased levels of awareness about the rapid procalcitonin tests are likely to contribute to the growth of the market during the forecast period.

In terms of product type, the global procalcitonin test kits market can be segmented into immunoassay test kits, immunochromatography test kits, and others. The immunoassay test kits segment in projected to dominate the global market during the forecast period.
The immunoassay test kits, especially the ELISA kits, are widely and most commonly used test kits for the detection of levels of procalcitonin in the blood. Easy availability, low cost, ease of use, and precise output reading are likely to contribute to dominant share of the segment during the forecast period.
