About Procalcitonin Serum Test A procalcitonin serum test is conducted to measure the procalcitonin levels in an individual. If the level of procalcitonin serum is higher than the normal range, it may indicate the presence of an infection, particularly sepsis. Procalcitonin (PCT) is a protein produced before the calcitonin hormone in response to bacterial infection and inflammatory conditions. The procalcitonin test is a crucial diagnostic tool which can help your doctor differentiate between bacterial and viral infections, guide antibiotic therapy decisions, and monitor treatment effectiveness.
