ABSTRACT
Sepsis is the occurrence of infection in association with the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Bacterial sepsis is one of the major illnesses that shows severe symptoms which leads to organ dysfunction. Procalcitonin (PCT) the precursor of the hormone calcitonin shows a huge impact on the diagnosis of sepsis caused by the bacterial infection. Many studies have also insisted the importance of PCT as a biomarker for sepsis. As early diagnosis is the key factor to overcome the difficulties of the sepsis, PCT acts a prominent diagnostic tool to acquire the desired results. This study focused on the role of PCT in correlation with supporting parameters of the vital organs such as renal markers, liver enzymes and pancreatic enzymes to reduce the organ dysfunction and its complications.
Keywords: Sepsis, procalcitonin, renal markers, liver enzymes, pancreatic enzymes.
