[Dry chemistry method for measuring serum urea and creatinine].

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the dry chemistry method for measuring serum urea and creatinine.

Methods: Urea and Creatinine were measured by dry and wet chemistry methods respectively. The results and the relativity between the two methods were compared.

Results: The correlative factors were 0.996 and 0.995, respectively, implying fairly good comparability. The precision of the dry chemistry method was good, with the coefficient variation (CV) below 5%. With favorable accuracy, the recovery rate were 106.7% and 107.2%, respectively.

Conclusion: Dry chemistry method is rapid and accurate for emergent testing of serum urea and creatinine.
