However, the effects of bilirubin on enzymatic methods appear less well-defined. The Roche Cobas 8000 enzymatic creatinine (CREP2) has an unconjugated bilirubin icterus limit of 20 mg/dL, equivalent to a bilirubin concentration of 342 µmol/L. Many hepatology patients have bilirubin levels much higher than this limit, and laboratories are unable to release creatinine results on these complex patients. This is particularly challenging for patient management, as creatinine is a key test and is a prerequisite for many procedures, imaging studies and treatments.MethodsTwo spiking studies were carried out, the first to define the interference effect of bilirubin on enzymatic creatinine measurement, and the second to see if this interference could be mitigated via dilution. Serum samples (<i>n</i> = 50) were spiked with a concentrated bilirubin solution.

Estimated differences at MDLs were acceptable in SFT except for potassium and CK-MB, while plasma showed unacceptable differences in potassium, LDH, creatinine, and CK-MB. LiHep Tube showed reduced stability than SST for all analytes except for iPTH, impairing retest reliability. SFT showed comparable stability except for LDH and iPTH, which showed slightly shortened stability.ConclusionsThe SFT demonstrated high correlation and comparable stability to SST, making it a suitable replacement for the LiHep Tube, as an alternative to SST for rapid testing.</p>","PeriodicalId":8005,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Clinical Biochemistry","volume":" ","pages":"45632251329272"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143707897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
