Test paragraph to see if tablet is viable means of editing. It is not the best so I will use PC instead

On second examination it seems to work well enough.

I have discovered that Wikipedia does not like VPN and will not allow edits made when using it.

this could be used to talk about usage in clinics as tool for determining organ rejection or bacterial infection post organ transplant

Organ Rejection
Due to nonelevated level of procalcitonin in blood due to nonbacterial causes it has be purposed as a method of detecting if symptoms are caused by acute rejection of the transplanted organ or if it is a bacterial infection.

also: Typically the levels of procalcitonin remain below 0.5 ng/mL when there are cases of acute organ rejection, which has been stated previously to be below the 1 μg/mL typically seen in bacterial infection

also not in original article under the initial information I could change the following "It does not rise significantly with viral or non-infectious inflammations." to "It does not rise significantly with viral or non-infectious inflammations. In the case of virus infections this is due to the fact that one of the cellular responses to a viral infection is to produce interferon γ, which also inhibits the initial formation of procalcitonin

Organ Rejection (revised version)
Add a sentence here explaining how the symptoms of organ rejection and bacterial infection overlap. Plasma procalcitonin has been proposed as a method for differentiating between acute rejection of a transplanted organ and bacterial infection. Typically the levels of procalcitonin remain below 0.5 ng/mL when there are cases of acute organ rejection, which has been stated previously to be below the 1 μg/mL typically seen in bacterial infection

Organ Rejection final version
Immune responses to both organ rejection and severe bacterial infection can lead to similar symptoms such as swelling and fever that can make initial diagnosis difficulty. To differentiate between acute rejection of an organ transplant and bacterial infections, plasma procalcitonin levels have been proposed as a potential diagnostic tool. Typically the levels of procalcitonin in the blood remain below 0.5 ng/mL in cases of acute organ rejection, which has been stated previously to be well below the 1 μg/mL typically seen in bacterial infection.
