Artifactually elevated BUN values on the Boehringer Mannheim-Hitachi 737 and 705 automated chemistry analysers and the development of a kinetic BUN method
نویسندگان
چکیده
The measurement of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) as serum or plasma urea is one of the most frequently ordered laboratory tests for evaluating renal functions. Conventional analysis of reactions of urea with diacetyl monoxime or urease with the Berthelot reaction [1] is rapidly giving way to the totally enzymatic reactions that are more convenient to perform and more easily adapted to modern instrumentation. However, the automated analysis ofthese reactions may yield falsely elevated BUN levels for some patients.

Standardization of a commercial (Boehringer Mannheim diagnostics) enzymic method for cholesterol.
The Laboratory Standardization Panel of the National Cholesterol Education Program recommends that cholesterol method accuracy ideally be within 3% of the true value determined by the Abell-Kendall Reference Method, a component of the National Reference System for Cholesterol. As one of the Abell-Kendall network laboratories established to facilitate cholesterol standardization, the approach we...

The selective multitest Boehringer Mannheim/Hitachi 704 analysis system was examined according to the ECCLS guidelines in a multicentre evaluation involving four laboratories. Ten routine parameters, covering most of the application settings of the instrument, were measured in the respective laboratory at temperatures 25, 30 or 37 degrees C. The trial lasted four months and gave more than 40,00...

متن کاملPeroxidase-coupled method for kinetic colorimetry of total creatine kinase activity in serum.
We describe a peroxidase-coupled method involving a colorimetric indicator reaction for determining the total activity of creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2) in serum. The kinetically favorable reverse reaction is exploited to generate adenosine 5'-triphosphate, which is used in the glycerol kinase-catalyzed phosphorylation of glycerol. The glycerol 3-phosphate so generated is oxidized in the presence...
متن کاملComparison of seven serum assays on four automatic analysers
Serum enzyme assays used on four different analysers (Hitachi 737, Hitachi 705, Cobas-bio and RA-2X) were compared by determining the activity of seven different enzymes (AST, ALT, LD, ALP, GGT, CK and AMS). Performance checks (quality control procedure) and replications (the study of the total analytic imprecision and of its components) were conducted and the methods were compared by linear re...
