Procalcitonin, a Biomarker for Diagnosing and Differentiating Infection among Liver Transplant Recipients: a systematic review and meta-analysis

2020-03-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Infection has long been the major cause for death after liver transplantation. Diagnosing this deadly disease in time can be of great help to support the patients in intensive care units. However, tests like blood culture would take too much time to generate an outcome. Procalcitonin seems to be a promising biomarker in such clinical settings these days. To evaluate its diagnostic value as a...
