Albumin activation of urinary amylase as determined with the Du Pont aca.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Protein activation of urinary alpha-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) activity was observed during an evaluation of the Du Pont aca procedure for the determination of urinary alpha-amylase. This activation effect became constant for urinary albumin concentrations exceeding 1.50 g/liter. It is recommended that urinary alpha-amylase be analyzed with sufficient albumin added to maximize this effect. The aca alpha-amylase procedure is compared to an amyloclastic method for both serum and urine analysis. Expected ranges are presented for the aca method for serum and urinary amylase, amylase clearance, and the amylase clearance/creatinine clearance ratio.

Evaluationof the Du Pont aca a - Amylase Procedure
The procedure used with the Du Pont aca for a-amylase (1,4,-a-o-glucan glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.1) was evaluated In our laboratory and compared with the Roche Diagnostics “Amylochrome” and Perkin-Eimer Coleman 91 amylase assays. The within-run coefficients of varIation (CV) for samples of fresh normal sera were: aca 5.8% and 4.3% on two different lots of reagent, Amylochrome 7.4%, and Coleman...
متن کاملComparison of results from the Du Pont "ACA" and Technicon "SMA 12-60".
The Du Pont “Automatic Clinical Analyzer” (ACA) and the Technicon “SMA 12/60” were compared as to precision, range of linearity, and results for sera from patients. Precision of the ACA was equal to or better than that of the SMA 12/60 for all determinations except SGOT in the normal range. The ACA showed a wider range of linearity for BUN, total protein, LDH, alkaline phosphatase, SGOT, and bi...
متن کاملSource of error in cerebrospinal fluid protein determination with the Du Pont Automatic Clinical Analyzer.
To the Editor: The most widely used method for measurement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) total protein is turbidimetry. We use the Du Pont Automatic Clinical Analyzer (aca; Du Pont Instruments, Wilmington, Del. 19898) for this measurement. In this method, CSF proteins are precipitated by trichloroacetic acid and the resulting turbidity is measured spectrophotometrically (1). Values are falsely l...
متن کاملHemoglobin interference with Du Pont Automatic Clinical Analyzer procedure for calcium.
Hemoglobin in concentrations of approximately 2.5 g/liter or greater significantly increases values for apparent calcium in serum as determined with the Du Pont aca, an interference attributable to the 575-nm absorption band of oxyhemoglobin being uncompensated by the 577--600 nm differential absorption reading of the calcium o-cresolphthalein complexone complex.
متن کاملA spectrometric version of the total bilirubin determination with the Du Pont ACA with respect to neonatal sera.
A spectrometric modification of the determination of total bilirubin with the Du Pont ACA is described. Accuracy, precision and standardization problems are discussed in comparison with the earlier published diazo modification, as well as other techniques well known in the field of neonatal chemistry.
