- 14.PCT is found in the C-cells of Thyroid tissue. In normal synthesis it cleaves to calcitonin. In the presence of a bacteria insult (systemic bacteria or sepsis) the cleaving does not take place and the entire molecule is spilled into the bloodstream; stimulating other similar cell types to produce PCT; those do not have the ability to synthesize and we see extreme rises in PCT in blood plasma in the first 3-6 hours. PCT has 20-24 half life. What does half-life mean for PCT?
- A.
The time it takes to see a change in the patient’s response to medicine
- B.
The time it takes for the molecule to be half of its productive state
- C.
The time it takes to see half of the increase in PCT in the blood
- D.
The time to measure all of the bacteria in the blood
