PCT/IL-6 Rapid Quantitative Test Kit (Immunofluorescence Assay)
PCT (Procalcitonin) is a protein produced in response to bacterial infections. Elevated levels of PCT in the blood help differentiate bacterial infections from viral ones and are used to assess the severity of infections like sepsis. It’s also useful in monitoring treatment effectiveness.
IL-6 (Interleukin-6) is a cytokine involved in the inflammatory response. High levels of IL-6 are associated with inflammation, infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain cancers. It’s often measured to assess disease activity in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and to monitor sepsis or cytokine storms.
