Procalcitonin Level as a Surrogate for Catheter-related Blood Stream Bacteremia Among Hemodialysis Patients

Hemodialysis Catheter Infection Clinical Trial

Official title:
Procalcitonin Level as a Surrogate for Catheter-related Blood Stream Bacteremia Among Hemodialysis Patients

Clinical Trial Summary

Hemodialysis patients frequently develop catheter-related blood stream bacteremia (CRBSI). Procalcitonin is a marker of sepsis in bacterial infection. this study for detection of its role as a surrogacy marker in CRBSI.

Clinical Trial Description

Catheter-related blood stream bacteremia is common among hemodialysis patients. Clinically, fever and/or rigors with laboratory indicator of inflammation as leucocytosis and elevated c-reactive protein level are considered as markers for CRBSI before blood culture results became available.

Procalcitonin is a valid indicator of sepsis. In this study, Procalcitonin level will be measured in any patient with suspected CRBSI and correlation will be tested for proved CRBSI by blood cultures. ;
