< 0.50 ng/mL = low risk of severe sepsis and/or septic shock (do not exclude infection, as infections or systemic infections in early stages (<6hrs) can be associated with low concentrations.)
0.50 -2.00 ng/mL = interpret in the clinical context of the patient, as a variety of conditions such as burns, trauma, surgery and severe cardiogenic shock can cause procalcitonin elevations.
>2.00 ng/mL = elevated risk of sever sepsis and/or septic shock.
< 0.50 ng/mL = low risk of severe sepsis and/or septic shock (do not exclude infection, as infections or systemic infections in early stages (<6hrs) can be associated with low concentrations.)
