2009, SurgeryCitation Excerpt :After an initial infectious stimulus, plasma levels of PCT increase sharply after a latency of 2 hours, reaching peak values within 12 to 24 hours and then plateau.26-29 Serum PCT has a half-life of approximately 20 to 24 hours1,26,30-32 and is not prolonged in patients with impaired kidney function.27,29,31 PCT therefore offers an adequately sized diagnostic window for a routine clinical use of this parameter.

2007, Journal of Heart and Lung TransplantationCitation Excerpt :Other methods of reducing thromboembolism could also be considered. For example, anti-platelet agents are known to prevent consumptive coagulopathy and formation of microemboli, and these may well decrease the incidence of neurologic injuries.24–27 Anti-platelet therapy in this trial was not directly suggested and was optional at the discretion of each center.
