Measurement of Total Protein Is a Useful Inclusion in Liver Function Test Profiles

Measurement of total protein is not a useful inclusion in liver function test profiles.

To the Editor: All Bayer ACS:180 and ADVIA Centaur system chemiluminescent immunoassays are evaluated during product development for performance characteristics based on specimen collection tube type, anticoagulant, and sample handling. Recommendations are reported in the product inserts in the Specimen Collection and Handling section. The approved specimen types for the ACS:180/ADVIA Centaur C...

Evaluation of Factors Influencing Liver Function Test in On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

Background: Liver dysfunction during on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is a rare complication but is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The ability to identify high-risk patients may be helpful in planning appropriate management strategies. We aimed to evaluate the factors influencing liver function tests during on-pump CABG.Methods: In 146 patients scheduled...

Potential errors in the measurement of total protein in male rat urine using test strips.

Widely differing results were obtained for urinary protein determinations in male rats using 2 test strips and a quantitative Coomassie Blue sodium dodecyl sulphate method. A comparison of the sensitivity of the protein methods with respect to rat albumin and alpha 2U globulin was made; both test strips were found to be relatively insensitive to the presence of alpha 2U globulin. Resultant limi...
