Procalcitonin Identifies Cell Injury, Not Bacterial Infection, in Acute Liver Failure
BACKGROUND: Because acute liver failure (ALF) patients share many clinical features with severe sepsis and septic shock, identifying bacterial infection clinically in ALF patients is challenging. Procalcitonin (PCT) has proven to be a useful marker in detecting bacterial infection. We sought to dete...
