Progress towards standardization: an IFCC Scientific Division Perspective.

The aim of the Scientific Division (SD) of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) is to advance the science of Laboratory Medicine [ 1 ]. In this regard, IFCC-SD identifies research areas of relevance in Laboratory Medicine and related scientific and technological problems, and provides solutions and guidelines on how to resolve them. Especially, SD fo...

Enzymatic assays for creatinine: time for action International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) IFCC Scientific Division

Accurate serum creatinine measurements in glomerular filtration rate estimation (eGFR) using equations are critical to ongoing global public health efforts to improve the diagnosis and treatment of chronic kidney disease. There is now an ongoing activity to promote worldwide standardization of methods to determine creatinine together with the introduction of a revised eGFR equation appropriate ...

International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC): Scientific Division, Committee on pH, Blood Gases and Electrolytes: Guidelines for Transcutaneouspo2andpco2 Measurement

This document provides guidelines for the terminology, methodology, and for the interpretation of data obtained from the use of skin (transcutaneous) po(2) and pco(2) electrodes. The transcutaneous technique has found special application in newborn infants. The causes of analytical bias with respect to arterial blood gas values, and imprecision obtained with transcutaneous pco(2) electrodes, ar...
