  2. Procalcitonin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procalcitonin

    The level of procalcitonin rises in a response to a pro-inflammatory stimulus, especially of bacterial origin. It is therefore often classed as an acute phase reactant. [4] The induction period for procalcitonin ranges from 4–12 hours with a half-life spanning anywhere from 22–35 hours. [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood...

    This may also be called standard range. In contrast, optimal (health) range or therapeutic target is a reference range or limit that is based on concentrations or levels that are associated with optimal health or minimal risk of related complications and diseases. For most substances presented, the optimal levels are the ones normally found in ...

  4. Calcitonin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcitonin

    In many ways, calcitonin counteracts parathyroid hormone (PTH) and vitamin D. More specifically, calcitonin lowers blood Ca 2+ levels in two ways: Major effect: Inhibits osteoclast activity in bones, which break down the bone [12] Minor effect: Inhibits renal tubular cell reabsorption of Ca 2+ and phosphate, allowing them to be excreted in the ...

  5. Calcium metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_metabolism

    The plasma total calcium concentration is in the range of 2.2–2.6 mmol/L (9–10.5 mg/dL), and the normal ionized calcium is 1.3–1.5 mmol/L (4.5–5.6 mg/dL). [4] The amount of total calcium in the blood varies with the level of plasma albumin, the most abundant protein in plasma, and therefore the main carrier of protein-bound calcium in the blood.

  6. Reference range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_range

    The standard definition of a reference range for a particular measurement is defined as the interval between which 95% of values of a reference population fall into, in such a way that 2.5% of the time a value will be less than the lower limit of this interval, and 2.5% of the time it will be larger than the upper limit of this interval, whatever the distribution of these values.

  8. Calcitonin gene-related peptide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcitonin_gene-related...

    Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a member of the calcitonin family of peptides consisting of calcitonin, amylin, adrenomedullin, adrenomedullin 2 and calcitonin‑receptor‑stimulating peptide. Calcitonin is mainly produced by thyroid C cells whilst CGRP is secreted and stored in the nervous system. [1]
