Procalcitonin Test Kits Market : Industry Development Scenario and Forecast to 2025

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
