Population-based genomewide genetic analysis of common clinical chemistry analytes.
BACKGROUND Recent technologies enable genetic association studies of common clinical analytes on a genomewide basis in populations numbering thousands of individuals. The first publications using these technologies are already revealing novel biological functions for both genic and nongenic loci, and are promising to transform knowledge about the biological networks underlying disease pathophys...
متن کاملReference Intervals of Common Clinical Chemistry Analytes for Adults in Hong Kong
BACKGROUND Defining reference intervals is a major challenge because of the difficulty in recruiting volunteers to participate and testing samples from a significant number of healthy reference individuals. Historical literature citation intervals are often suboptimal because they're be based on obsolete methods and/or only a small number of poorly defined reference samples. METHODS Blood don...
متن کاملInfluence of a Regular, Standardized Meal on Clinical Chemistry Analytes
BACKGROUND Preanalytical variability, including biological variability and patient preparation, is an important source of variability in laboratory testing. In this study, we assessed whether a regular light meal might bias the results of routine clinical chemistry testing. METHODS We studied 17 healthy volunteers who consumed light meals containing a standardized amount of carbohydrates, pro...
متن کاملBiological variability of 26 clinical chemistry analytes in elderly people.
Analytical, within-subject, and between-subject components of variation were estimated for 26 clinical chemistry analytes from duplicate analyses of 10 specimens collected from 27 healthy elderly subjects over a period of 20 weeks. Within-subject variations were similar to those generated previously by us in younger subjects. We conclude, therefore, that homeostasis is not compromised by age al...
متن کاملFasting conditions: Influence of water intake on clinical chemistry analytes
Introduction Currently available recommendations regarding fasting requirements before phlebotomy do not specify any maximum water intake volume permitted during the fasting period. The aim was to study the effects of 300 mL water intake 1 h before phlebotomy on specific analytes. Materials and methods Blood was collected from 20 women (median age (min-max): 24 (22 - 50) years) in basal state...
