Therapeutic drug monitoring via voriconazole target trough concentration is important to ensure efficacy while preventing toxicity. Our aim was to determine the stability of voriconazole as adapted and measured by an immunoassay.Methods: Plasma from patient samples (n = 45) evaluated by a liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was compared against an ARK immunoassay method, adapted and optimized on the Abbott Alinity c analyzer. Stability of voriconazole and analytical performance of ARK immunoassay was assessed, including functional sensitivity, limit of blank (LoB), limit of detection (LoD), and limit of quantification (LoQ), linearity, and precision.Results: ARK voriconazole immunoassay was highly correlated (Pearson R = 0.988) to the LC-MS/MS method, with an average bias of 0.09 mg/L (2%). CV at LoQ of 0.5 mg/L was 3.7% while the functional sensitivity was established at 0.05 mg/L. Overall imprecision with liquid quality control material obtained from ARK was 5.0%, 6.3%, and 5.9% at 1 mg/L, 5 mg/L, and 10 mg/L, respectively. Limit of blank and LoD were 0.02 mg/L and 0.05 mg/L, respectively. Voriconazole in lithium heparin plasma separator tube declines over time, with a decrease that is more evident near or above toxic concentrations.Conclusion: Voriconazole collected in gel separation tubes declines over time, possibly due to absorptive properties. Voriconazole measurements by immunoassay and LC-MS/MS demonstrated acceptable comparability with sufficient level of sensitivity and precision.","PeriodicalId":46361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139747554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We set out to compare estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) determined using the creatinine-based CKD-EPI 2009 and 2021 equations and the reclassification of chronic kidney disease (CKD) eGFR staging to explore the potential ramifications of adopting the 2021 equation on reported eGFR and CKD staging.Methods: We analyzed secondary data previously utilized to determine reference intervals among Black African individuals residing in urban towns in Kenya. Serum creatinine was measured using a standardized modified Jaffé kinetic method on a Beckman AU5800 analyzer. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated using both the 2009 and 2021 CKD-EPI creatinine equations. Classification of CKD based on eGFR was performed using the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) practice guidelines.Results: Using 533 study samples, the median eGFR was highest when determined using the race-corrected CKD-EPI 2009 equation. The CKD-EPI 2021 equation yielded a median eGFR that was similar to the non-race-corrected CKD-EPI 2009 equation. The race-corrected CKD-EPI 2009 equation classified 93.6% of participants into CKD stage G1 compared with 85.6% by the CKD-EPI 2021 equation. The CKD-EPI 2021 equation classified 14.3% of participants into CKD stage G2 compared to 6.4% by the race-corrected CKD-EPI 2009 equation.Conclusions: The CKD-EPI 2021 equation gave a comparable eGFR to the non-race-corrected CKD-EPI 2009 equation and its implementation in laboratories reporting eGFR in Kenya will help in identifying patients with an appropriate decrease in renal function.","PeriodicalId":46361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139933526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The type of assay can influence results and have significant implications for clinical decision making. An evidence gap is present in recommendations regarding the assay needed to monitor GAHT. The present study aimed to summarize current evidence and evaluate immunoassay estradiol and testosterone concentrations in transgender people visiting a nonacademic hospital for GAHT.Methods: Clinical practice guidelines on GAHT and scientific literature on assay methodologies were screened and summarized. Laboratory and medical data from 252 patients who visited the transgender outpatient clinic of the Maasstad Hospital for GAHT between 2020 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Results: Our research showed that the most used clinical practice guidelines for GAHT provide hormonal target values without recommending a preferred method. A comprehensive literature search on agreement between immunoassay and mass spectrometry showed substantial heterogeneity in results. Retrospective analysis of our immunoassay measured data in transgender people showed hormonal changes during GAHT that are to be expected from the medication used.Conclusions: We demonstrate that laboratory monitoring of GAHT in a nonacademic hospital can be done safely by immunoassay in most cases. Only in cases where clinical observation is discordant with the hormonal results do more sophisticated methods need to be deployed. A best practice model was proposed for transgender care in nonacademic hospitals.","PeriodicalId":46361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140060728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current practice, however, discourages perioperative chamomile use due to a theoretical increase in bleeding. Therefore, we evaluated if chamomile acutely (within 4 h of ingestion) prolongs coagulation assays.Methods: Eight healthy volunteers were randomized to receive 2 interventions in a crossover design: (a) single dose of chamomile extract capsule (500 mg) and (b) single dose of chamomile tea (3 g in 150 mL water). Interventions were separated at least 3 days apart from each other. Blood was sampled pre-ingestion, 2 h post-ingestion, and 4 h post-ingestion for each intervention. The primary outcome was the maximal change in prothrombin time (PT) before vs after each intervention. Secondary outcomes included changes in international normalized ratio, activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombin time, reptilase time, and fibrinogen levels.Results: All 8 subjects completed the study. The average pre-ingestion PT values for tea and capsules were 11.9 (1.1) s and 12.0 (0.9) s, respectively. Tea significantly increased the average maximum PT by 0.7 (0.2) s (P = 0.0078). Extract capsules increased the maximum PT by 0.3 (0.2) s (P = 0.06). Neither PT prolongation met the predefined 10% threshold for clinical significance. No significant changes in secondary outcomes were observed.Conclusions: Chamomile tea ingestion prolongs PT. However, the clinical significance of this is unclear at this time and warrants further investigation.
