Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the consistency of different methods for detecting aldosterone concentration in blood and to establish a reference interval of serum aldosterone concentration by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS).
Methods
Concentrations of blood aldosterone were measured by LC-MS/MS, chemiluminescent assays (Diasorin, Domestic A and B systems) and radioimmunoassay (RIA) in 138 healthy adults, 67 patients with essential hypertension and 23 patients with primary aldosteronism.
Results
Aldosterone concentrations measured by various methods were quiet different(P 0.05) between CLIA(Domestic B) and LC-MS/MS, 0.338(P<0.01) as well as between RIA and LC-MS/MS. Bland-Altman analysis for the measurements showed poor consistency among methods for aldosterone concentrations. The reference interval was 15.2-222.2 pg/ml for serum aldosterone concentrations by LC-MS/MS.
Conclusions
There are significant differences of blood aldosterone concentrations determined by different methods. Clinically, a specified reference interval might be needed while using different methods.

期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism was founded in July 1985. It is a senior academic journal in the field of endocrinology and metabolism sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association. The journal aims to be the "Chinese broadcaster of new knowledge on endocrinology and metabolism worldwide". It reports leading scientific research results and clinical diagnosis and treatment experience in endocrinology and metabolism and related fields, as well as basic theoretical research that has a guiding role in endocrinology and metabolism clinics and is closely integrated with clinics. The journal is a core journal of Chinese science and technology (a statistical source journal of Chinese science and technology papers), and is included in Chinese and foreign statistical source journal databases such as the Chinese Science and Technology Papers and Citation Database, Chemical Abstracts, and Scopus.
