Procalcitonin has several advantages over CRP and ESR as a biological marker. Serum concentrations of PCT are normally <0.05 ng/mL. Procalcitonin levels become detectable within 3–4 hours and peak within 6–24 hours, which is earlier than both CRP and ESR.

27 sie 2024 · At various diagnostic cut-off levels, the sensitivity and specificity of ESR and CRP for orthopaedic infections generally ranged from 52% to 83%, with positive and negative likelihood ratios ( ± LRs) ranging from 1.8 to 3.5 and 0.3 to 0.8, respectively [2–7] (Table 1).
Comparative Value of Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Testing in Combination Versus Individually for the Diagnosis of Undifferentiated Patients With Suspected Inflammatory Disease or Serious Infection: A Systematic Review and Economic Analysis [Internet]. Show details.
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are markers of inflammatory conditions and have been used extensively by clinicians both in outpatient and inpatient settings. It is important to understand the physiologic principles behind these two tests so clinicians may use them ….
Objective: A thorough understanding of the similarities and differences between these two serological markers, including factors that affect measurements, is necessary for the proper utilization and interpretation of ESR and CRP.
The combination of procalcitonin and C-reactive protein or presepsin alone improves the accuracy of diagnosis of neonatal sepsis: a meta-analysis and systematic review. Ruan L, Chen GY, Liu Z, et al. Crit Care. 2018;22:316. doi: 10.1186/s13054-018-2236-1.
29 kwi 2019 · The objective of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), and their combination for mortality in patients with septic shock.
