Procalcitonin is a marker of Gram negative sepsis whereas Sr Lactate is a marker of tissue hypoxia regardless of Sepsis or SIRS.Can they be compared?

Our physician group is looking at procalcitonin levels vs lactic acid levels as which one is a more accurate biomarker for severe sepsis and septic shock. Has anyone completed a study regarding this issue. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Jody
