IL-6 is a valuable biomarker for early detection and monitoring of inflammatory conditions, particularly in the context of bacterial infections and sepsis.
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is an interleukin that acts as both a pro inflammatory cytokine and an anti-inflammatory myokine. osteoblasts secrete IL-6 to stimulate osteoclast formation. Smooth muscle cells in the tunica media of many blood vessels also produce IL-6 as a pro-inflammatory cytokine.
PCT(Procalcitonin) is a peptide precursor of the hormone calcitonin. Measurement of PCT can be used as an authoritative marker for diagnosis and stratification of sepsis.
Serum amyloid A (SAA) is a major acute phase protein in human beings, and dogs. The level of SAA proteins in blood increases within just a few hours following the onset of various inflammatory stimuli. These include infection, trauma and surgery
The C-reactive protein(CRP) is synthesized by the liver in response to interleukin-6 and is well known as one of the classical acute-phase reactants. It is used as a marker of inflammation and cardiovascular diseases(C-VD). Biotime CRP test includes hs-CRP and normal CRP test parameters which has wider test range.
Biotime 2 in 1 test kit can help the operator to distinguish the bacterial infection and viral infection, and improve the accuracy of clinical diagnosis of infectious diseases.
