False positive acetaminophen concentrations in icteric serum
INTRODUCTION Serum concentrations of acetaminophen are measured to predict the risk of hepatotoxicity in cases of acetaminophen overdose and to identify acetaminophen use in patients with acute liver injury without a known cause. The acetaminophen concentration determines if treatment with N-acetyl cysteine, the antidote for acetaminophen poisoning, is warranted. DESCRIPTION A 49-year-old wom...
متن کاملFalse-positive acetaminophen results in a hyperbilirubinemic patient.
BACKGROUND Acetaminophen was falsely detected in the plasma of a severely jaundiced patient, and a methodologic interference from bilirubin was suspected. METHODS Acetaminophen was measured by an enzymatic method (GDS Diagnostics). The putative bilirubin interference was investigated in 12 hyperbilirubinemic specimens and in bilirubin linearity calibrators. The analytical method was modified ...
متن کاملMeasuring serum concentrations of interleukin-33 in atopic dermatitis is associated with potential false positive results.
BACKGROUND In the search for valid biomarkers in inflammatory diseases, cytokine serum concentrations are often measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and correlated to disease activity. Interleukin-33 is a relatively newly described cytokine, which holds a promising potential as a biomarker for different diseases including atopic dermatitis. However, interfering human anti-animal IgG an...
متن کاملImpact of serum acetaminophen concentration on changes in serum potassium, creatinine and urea concentrations among patients with acetaminophen overdose.
BACKGROUND Acetaminophen overdose may be accompanied by electrolyte disturbances. The basis for electrolyte change appears to be due to increased fractional urinary electrolyte excretion. PURPOSE This study investigated the impact of serum acetaminophen concentration on changes in serum potassium, creatinine and urea concentrations in patients with acetaminophen overdose. METHODS This was a...
متن کاملFrequency of false positive responses in patients with multiple positive reactions in patch test
Background and aim: Contact dermatitis is an inflammatory skin response due to contact with environmental materials manifested as acute or chronic eczema. Patch test is the standard test to recognize responsible allergen. The objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency of false positive patch test responses in patients with Exited Skin Syndrome (ESS).Materials...
