Abstract :
BACKGROUND: This study verified and assessed 26 biochemical indicators tested by a dry chemistry analyzer using the hemolytic index test function to determine the degree of interference and the trends among the hemolysis samples on the test results. This study also sought to ensure that reasonable test reports could be issued taking into account practical clinical needs. METHODS: The samples were manually divided into the control group and the test group. The hemolytic index and biochemical indicators of the samples were tested using the Ortho Vitros 5600 to compare the deviation of the test results between the 2 groups. The judgment standard was set as 1/3 of the total error allowable as required by the quality assessment criterion of the National Center for Clinical Laboratories. The interference degree of hemolysis on the dry chemistry-based biochemical indicators was assessed, and the hemolytic thresholds of 26 biochemical indicators provided by the manufacturer were verified in terms of their validity and rationality. RESULTS: The hemolytic thresholds of 26 dry chemistry-based biochemical indicators were verified to analyze the degree of interference. The results revealed that hemolysis interfered with 17 indicators. Hemolysis positively interfered with the test results of phosphorus, creatine kinase, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GGT), magnesium, iron, total protein, potassium, total bilirubin, lactate dehydrogenase, albumin, and aspartate aminotransferase, but negatively interfered with cholinesterase, direct high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glucose, elevated carbon dioxide alkaline phosphatase, and alanine aminotransferase. A negative deviation of gamma-GGT by hemoglobin was described in the manufacturer's statement, but our test data showed a positive deviation by hemolysis. The hemolytic threshold verification results of the other biochemical indicators were consistent with the manufacturer's statement. CONCLUSIONS: The hemolytic index test function was used to determine which samples were interfered with by hemolysis to make an analytical judgment according to the hemolytic interference thresholds of the different test items, verify the validity of the hemolytic thresholds of the test items, perform reasonable tests on the hemolytic samples, and issue valid reports to reduce the rejection rate of the hemolytic samples, shorten the turnaround time (TAT) of laboratories. |
