Background
Procalcitonin (PCT) and C‐reactive protein (CRP) are used most widely in the diagnosis/treatment of bacterial infections. These are not infection‐specific and may also show increases in other inflammation‐causing cases.
Aim
To establish a new cut‐off value for PCT and CRP to eliminate confusion in the diagnosis and treatment of bacterial infections in haemodialysis (HD) patients.
