Interference of cefoxitin in the creatinine estimation and its clinical relevance.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Serum creatinine and creatinine clearance were measured in 10 healthy volunteers before and after an intravenous injection of 2 g cefoxitin sodium. Results were compared with in vitro work which demonstrated a positive interference by cefoxitin in the Jaffé reaction, the routine laboratory method of creatinine measurement. The serum creatinine estimation should be delayed until at least 2 hours after cefoxitin administration. The creatinine clearance may appear to be falsely high.

Effect of dialysis on interference by cefoxitin with determination of creatinine.
Interference by cefoxitin with determination of creatinine is less with the Technicon SMAC than with other commercial analytical systems. The SMAC assay involves a single-point kinetic method with dialysis, whereas most other commercial methods are multipoint kinetic without dialysis. The apparent creatinine concentration measured for aqueous solutions of cefoxitin was 73 mmol of creatinine per...
متن کاملMechanism of cefoxitin and cephalothin interference with the Jaffé method for creatinine.
Some cepha antibiotics interfere positively in the Jaffé method for determining creatinine. The extent of this interference differs with the modification used, and its mechanism is unknown. We studied the spectrophotometric and thermodynamic properties of the reaction of picrate with creatinine and two cepha antibiotics, cefoxitin and cephalothin. The absorbance spectra of the chromophore produ...

Several cephalosporin antibioticscephalothin, cephaloglycine, cephaloridine, cephacetrile, and cefoxitinreportedly interfere positively with measurement of creatinine by the Jaff#{233} reaction. Others such as cefazolin, cephalexin, cephradine, cefamandole, and cephalpirin give negative or only very slight responses under the same in vitro conditions (1, 2). Rankin et al. (3) showed in vivo int...
متن کاملEvaluation of an enzymatic method for determining creatinine in plasma.
An enzymatic kit method for the determination of plasma creatinine was optimised for use with a centrifugal analyser and its performance characteristics and practicability compared with an end point and a kinetic Jaffé-based method. The enzymatic method exhibited several advantages over Jaffé-based methods--namely, smaller sample size, rapid sample throughput (200 per hour), and improved specif...
متن کاملPositive interference with the Jaffé reaction by cephalosporin antibiotics.
Cephaloglycin, cephalothin, cephaloridine, cefoxitin, and cephacetrile are cephalosporin antibiotics that react with alkaline picrate solution to give a creatinine-like response. The mechanism of this reaction is not known, and several structurally similar compounds do not react under these same conditions. Because large quantities of a cephalosporin antibiotic may be administered to a patient ...
