Interferences in current methods for measurements of creatinine.

چکیده
We measured the interference of carbonyl compounds, drugs, and other substances in human serum on the determination of creatinine by the two-point, fixed-time kinetic modification of the Jaffé reaction as well as by four enzymatic methods. We added known concentrations of the interfering substances to a solution of creatinine in water. For bilirubin, we used both pooled normal sera with added bilirubin and icteric patient sera. The magnitude of interferences varies widely from method to method. Carbonyl compounds, dopamine, cephalosporines, and bilirubin interfere with the Jaffé reaction. Bilirubin, creatine, dopamine, ascorbic acid, and sarcosine interfere with the enzymatic methods. We conclude that the elimination of interferences in the determination of creatinine has still not been achieved.

Investigating interferences of a whole-blood point-of-care creatinine analyzer: comparison to plasma enzymatic and definitive creatinine methods in an acute-care setting.
BACKGROUND Although measurement of whole-blood creatinine at the point of care offers rapid assessment of renal function, agreement of point-of-care (POC) results with central laboratory methods continues to be a concern. We assessed the influence of several potential interferents on POC whole-blood creatinine measurements. METHODS We compared POC creatinine (Nova StatSensor) measurements wit...

The recent campaign for standardization of creatinine measurements has been promoted to allow the widespread use of formulas for estimating the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). However, studies on trueness verification and measurement interferences still show disappointing interassay variation of serum creatinine results. Creatinine recalibration has major clinical consequences. In particular,...

Introduction The concentration of substances, including urea, creatinine, and uric acid, can be used as an index to measure toxic uremic solutes in the blood during dialysis and interdialytic intervals. The on-line monitoring of toxin concentration allows for the clearance measurement of some low-molecular-weight solutes at any time during hemodialysis.The aim of this study was to determine the...

The interferences of o-raffinose cross-linked hemoglobin (Hemolink) were examined and compared in two serum creatinine methods on the Hitachi 717 [Boehringer Mannheim (BMC) and Synermed] and in an enzymatic creatinine method on the Vitros 750 (Johnson & Johnson). Interference was considered significant when the change in creatinine concentration from the control exceeded the 95% confidence limi...
