Similarly, a decline in PCT was associated with 30-, 90-, and 600-day survival rates of 90%, 85%, and 84%, while increasing PCT correlated with significantly lower rates of 75%, 70%, and 30%, respectively.<h4>Conclusion</h4>While the absolute values of CRP and PCT were not diagnostic for infection, an increase in these biomarkers from days three to five to seven predicted significantly higher short- and long-term mortality in LDLT recipients. Here, CRP is linked to infection.
