Assessment of the performance of a dual-sample oral cholate challenge test: The HepQuant DuO test
Background
Liver health is currently evaluated using nonspecific blood tests, fibrosis surrogates, and invasive procedures, none of which directly measure liver function and physiology. The validated HepQuant SHUNT test quantifies liver function and physiology and is linked to clinical outcomes. Herein we present the reliability of a simplified version, the dual-sample oral cholate challenge (HepQuant DuO) test.
Methods
Samples from the SHUNT-V study representing various liver disease etiologies were used in experiments to assess test reliability. We compared the HepQuant DuO test analyte measurements relative to the previously validated HepQuant SHUNT test. Precision and imprecision (%CV) of analyte measurements and HepQuant DuO test parameters were evaluated over four days, with two runs per day and three replicates per run, using two-way nested hierarchical ANOVA. Analytical specificity was evaluated in samples spiked with endogenous 12C-cholic acid.
Results
All samples met the prespecified method comparison acceptance criteria with a mean bias of 2.6 %, demonstrating equivalency between the analytical methods of HepQuant DuO and SHUNT. Total imprecision across all HepQuant DuO test parameters, for both 13C- and d4-cholate, ranged from 0.6 % to 2.1 %. Samples spiked with high concentrations of 12C-cholic acid demonstrated lack of interference with a percent change relative to controls of 3.2 % or less.
Conclusions
The studies described herein established the reliability of the HepQuant DuO test in terms of precision, analytical specificity, and agreement with the validated HepQuant SHUNT test. Reportable ranges and reference intervals are also described.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
