Calcitonin is involved with calcium homeostasis. It was identified in 19070 by Leonard J. Feftos and Bernard A. Roos. It is composed of 116 amino acids and is produced by C cells of the thyroid and the neuroendocrine cells of the intestine and lungs.\u003cbr\u003eIn the blood of a healthy person, you will expect a procalcitonin level of 0.01µg\/L. Procalcitonin levels rise as a response to inflammation, usually of a bacterial nature.\u003cbr\u003eProcalcitonin is referred to as an acute-phase reactant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcalcitonin Diagnostic advantages\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProcalcitonin offers a great variance between microbial infections and a healthy human. This is why it has gone on to become a key marker to improve the identification of bacterial infections.

At a 5 ng\/mL value, the sensitivity and specificity were 61% and 94%.
