Prognostic value of pro-adrenomedullin, procalcitonin and C-reactive protein in predicting outcome of febrile urinary tract infection

Bacterial infections such as febrile urinary tract infection (fUTI) may run a complicated course that is difficult to foretell on clinical evaluation only. Because the conventional biomarkers erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), leucocyte count, C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) have...
