Blood test showdown: which detects Post-Surgery infections sooner?
NCT ID NCT01510314
First seen Feb 11, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study looked at 552 adults who had planned colorectal surgery to see if a blood test called procalcitonin could detect infections earlier than the standard C-reactive protein (CRP) test. The goal is to catch complications like internal infections sooner, which could lead to faster treatment and shorter hospital stays. Participants had blood drawn before surgery and for four days after, and their recovery was tracked.
