SERUM CREATININE ASSAY: ENZYMATIC VS KINETIC JAFFE'S METHOD

Kinetic enzymatic method for determining serum creatinine.

Creatinine amidohydrolase is used to measure serum creatinine in a totally enzymatic procedure. Creatine, produced by hydrolysis, is acted upon by creatine kinase, and then by pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase, to result in a change in absorbance at 340 nm. The amount of creatinine present is related to the rate of change in A340 and is determined from a standard curve. Absorbance and c...

Evaluation of an Enzymatic Method for Determining Serum Creatinine Assay

The enzymatic method for the determination of serum creatinine is accepted as one of the standard method in a clinical laboratory. The enzymatic method for the determination of serum creatinine was optimized for use with Merilyzer AutoQuant-400 auto analyzer and its performance characteristics were practically compared with Jaffe’s Kinetic. Effects of some interfering substances like Serum bili...

Enzymatic rate assay of creatinine in serum and urine.

A two-step method for assaying creatinine in serum and urine samples, suitable with automated analyzers, is reported. Reagent 1, for the first step, contains a blanking system [creatine amidinohydrolase (CRTase), urease, glutamate dehydrogenase, NADPH, and 2-oxoglutarate] and a NADPH-regenerating system [Mg(2+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICD), MgCl2, and excess isocitrate]. Reagent 2, ...

Predictive, error-compensating kinetic method for enzymatic quantification of creatinine in serum.

Here we describe an error-compensating kinetic-based method for the enzymatic quantification of creatinine in serum. The method, which has a large linear range and very low dependency on experimental variables that influence enzyme activity, is based on the use of creatinine amidohydrolase in a four-step coupled reaction sequence to generate a product that is monitored photometrically. We colle...
