Abstract: Objective To study the relationship between the serum levels of procalcitonin (PCT) and pulmonary function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods From January 2016 to May 2107,88 cases of patients with COPD and 100 cases of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) were chosen as the object of study,pulmonary function was measured in all patients,grouped according to the standard of pulmonary function classification,and detected the serum levels of PCT by immunoturbidimetry.Results The serum levels of PCT were not statistically different among the COPD patients (F=1.401,P＞0.05).But among the AECOPD patients,the serum levels of PCT in the Ⅳ class of pulmonary function were significantly higher than that in the Ⅰ,Ⅱ class and Ⅲ class and this difference was statistically significant (F=9.128,P＜0.05).Conclusion The serum levels of PCT had significant reference value for the judgement of the severity of pulmonary function impairment in AECOPD patients.
