The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of the laboratory getting involved in the detection and elimination of immune complexes with vitamin B12 in clinical practice and its economic impact.Methods: A retrospective longitudinal study was undertaken to assess the laboratory strategy of detecting B12 macrovitamin (macro-B12) in patients with HB12 >1,000 pg/mL. The clinical characteristics of patients with HB12 referred to Internal Medicine (IM) in the pre- and post-implantation period of the new strategy were compared. Additionally, the healthcare costs of one-year follow-up were estimated.Results: The prevalences of HB12 in the pre- and post-implantation period were 3.9 % and 3 %, respectively. Macro-B12 explained 25 % of the HB12 cases initially detected. A 41 % reduction was observed in the number of patients with HB12 after the implantation of the new strategy, thereby resulting in a cost reduction of 5,000 €.Conclusions: The laboratory intervention for the detection of macro-B12 provides clear economic and clinical benefits in clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":72097,"journal":{"name":"Advances in laboratory medicine","volume":"5 3","pages":"313-319"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11380925/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142302197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DMT2 patients have been found to be at a higher risk for bone fractures than the healthy population. Hence, improving our understanding of the impact of antidiabetic drugs on bone metabolism is crucial.Methods: A descriptive, retrospective study involving 106 patients receiving six groups of antidiabetic drugs: insulin; dipeptidylpeptidase four inhibitors (DPP4i); glucagon-like peptide type 1 receptor agonists (GLP1ra); sulfonylureas; sodium-glucose cotransporter two inhibitors (SGLT2i); and pioglitazone, in which osteocalcin (OC), bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP) and C-terminal telopeptide of collagen type 1 or beta-crosslaps (β-CTx) were determined.Results: β-CTx concentrations were higher in the patients treated with pioglitazone, as compared to patients treated with DPP4i (p=0.035), SGLT2i (p=0.020) or GLP1ra (p<0.001). The lowest β-CTx concentrations were observed in the patients treated with GLP1ra.Conclusions: Bone remodeling is influenced by the type of antidiabetic drug administered to DMT2 patients. In our study, the patients who received pioglitazone showed higher β-CTx concentrations, as compared to patients treated with other types of antidiabetic drugs. This finding highlights the convenience of avoiding these drugs, especially in postmenopausal women with DMT2. GLP1ra drugs were associated with the lowest β-CTx concentrations, which suggests that these agents could exert beneficial effects on bone metabolism.","PeriodicalId":72097,"journal":{"name":"Advances in laboratory medicine","volume":"5 1","pages":"85-89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11019883/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140856842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was carried out to determine whether new BV values affected the level of compliance to specifications. Our secondary objective was to identify the conditions that would be compromised as a result of poor analytical performance in disease associated markers.Methods: This study was based on the results of the SEQCML External Quality Assurance scheme for the 2015-2022 period. Deviation of the individual result from the target value was estimated. Additionally, we calculated the percentage of results that met the pre-established specification.Results: In 97 of the 133 analytes, the level of compliance was maintained in 80-90 % of the results obtained in the two study periods. In 23 analytes, the level of compliance ranged from 51 to 79 % in the two study periods. In ALT, AST and sodium, the level of compliance was ≤50 % of the results obtained in the first study period, with sodium being the only analyte that maintained this poor level of compliance in the second study period.Conclusions: The level of compliance to specifications remained independent from the specification used (SEQCML or EFLM) for the majority of the analytes. The results for sodium ion were below the target value, which may lead to misdiagnosis of hyponatremia. Non-compensated alkaline picrate methods overestimate creatinine, which may produce false information suggestive of kidney failure.","PeriodicalId":72097,"journal":{"name":"Advances in laboratory medicine","volume":"4 4","pages":"379-386"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10724879/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138809524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This technique has a higher specificity, detects different analytes from a single specimen, measures analytes in distinct matrices, and substantially reduce analytical interference, with respect to immunoassay. The processing and preparation of biological samples are crucial in chromatography. Interferences in blood testing are usually caused by the presence of phospholipids and proteins. The main objective of this study was to improve analytical processes for drug screening by LC-MS/MS using a novel blood sample preparation method based on protein precipitation and removal of phospholipids.Methods: An evaluation was performed of a new method for the preparation of blood samples based on protein precipitation and removal of phospholipids by LC-Q-q-LIT.Results: Limit of detection, limit of quantification and measurement range were determined for 56 molecules. The results of 11 cases were compared with those obtained using standard blood collection methods and instruments.Conclusions: The novel blood preparation and testing method based on LC-Q-q-LIT, a more sensitive technique, has demonstrated to yield comparable results to traditional methods.

The aim of this work was to validate the measurement of CP in pleural fluid by chemiluminescence. Methods LIAISON ® XL, a fully automated chemiluminescence analyzer, was used for CP quantification on pleural fluid. A validation protocol was designed using both quality control materials provided by the manufacturer and pools of pleural fluid samples. Stability, imprecision, bias, linearity, detection capability and carry over effect were evaluated. Results CP was stable on pleural fluid at least one week, under refrigerated conditions, and four weeks at −80 °C. The observed intra- and inter-day imprecision was between 2.2 and 6.49 %, with a negative bias under 5.51 %. The linearity of the method was verified up to 2,000 ng/mL. The LoQ for the assay was 48.52 ng/mL. A statistically significant carry-over effect was observed after measuring CP concentrations above the upper limit of linearity, but given the observed magnitude, a clinically relevant impact should not be expected. Conclusions Diasorin Liaison ® calprotectin assay allows reliable measurement of CP in pleural fluid.","PeriodicalId":72097,"journal":{"name":"Advances in laboratory medicine","volume":"7 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136229438","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}
