PROCALCITONIN Test Cost AED:660.0
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the PROCALCITONIN test at a cost of AED 660.0. This test is a blood test used to measure the levels of procalcitonin in the body. Procalcitonin is a precursor protein to the hormone calcitonin, which is involved in regulating calcium levels in the body.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
This test is primarily used to help diagnose and monitor bacterial infections, particularly severe bacterial infections such as sepsis. Procalcitonin levels are typically very low in healthy individuals, but can significantly increase in response to bacterial infections. Elevated procalcitonin levels can indicate the presence of a bacterial infection, while low levels can suggest a viral or non-infectious cause.
This test is often used in conjunction with other diagnostic tools, such as blood cultures and clinical assessments, to help guide treatment decisions. It is important to note that procalcitonin levels can also be influenced by other factors, such as surgery, trauma, or certain medications. Therefore, the test results should be interpreted in the context of the patient’s clinical condition and other diagnostic findings.
