Hemolysis correction factor in the measurement of serum neuron-specific enolase.
Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) is comprised of two isoforms, ag and gg, of the glycolytic enzyme enolase. It is present almost exclusively in neurons and neuroendocrine tissues (1–3). The protein is a valuable tumor marker for monitoring the outcome and disease course in patients with cancer of the neuroendocrine type, in particular small cell lung cancer and neuroblastoma (4, 5). In addition, t...
متن کاملQualitative and Quantitative Approaches for Determination of Hemolyzed Serum
Abstract Background and Objective: Prevention of medical laboratory errors is a major goal of quality control programs. Hemolyzed specimen is one of the common issues causing medical laboratory errors. Apart from the visual assessment, the measurement of serum hemoglobin concentration can be another method to evaluate the intensity of hemolysis. We aimed to assess hemolyzed serum s...
متن کاملDEVELOPMENT OF A RAPID AND SENSITIVE RADIOIMMUNOASSAY FOR MEASUREMENT OF AFLATOXIN B 1 IN BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES
Aflatoxin B I (AFB) isa well known hepatocarcinogen in several animal species and probably a causative agent in human hepatocellular carcinoma. Humans are exposed to AFB by ingesting contaminated food. Aflatoxin contamination encountered in human foods is usually at low levels which is difficult to measure by chromatographic methods. Therefore in the present study we have developed an immun...
متن کاملMeasurement of methemoglobin in neonatal samples containing fetal hemoglobin.
Because of the potential for methemoglobinemia during nitric oxide therapy in newborns, methods are needed to accurately quantify methemoglobin (MetHb) in the presence of the high concentrations of fetal hemoglobin (Hb F), bilirubin, and lipids seen in these patients. Spectral differences between fetal and adult Hbs invalidate assumptions of conventional multiwavelength Hb photometry, so we eva...
