Procalcitonin following elective partial liver resection – origin from the liver? *

Background: The origin of the inflammatory peptide procalcitonin (PCT) is still unknown. In the present study PCT concentrations in arterial and hepatic‐venous blood were examined in patients undergoing elective partial liver resection (LR) using a fiberoptic pulmonary arterial catheter placed in a liver vein to obtain further information on the origin of PCT.
