Week-to-week biological variation in the N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide in hemodialysis patients and healthy individuals.
The concentration of the Nterminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is often increased in patients with a reduced renal function. The suggested diagnostic cutoffs in acute or subacute heart failure [e.g., 300 pg/mL (66 pmol/L) and 125 pg/mL (27 pmol/L), respectively] are therefore probably not applicable for hemodialysis (HD) patients. A better approach may be to diagnose pat...
متن کاملBiological variation of serum amyloid A in healthy subjects.
To the Editor: Serum amyloid A (SAA) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are two commonly used acute-phase markers. Whereas data on the biological variability of CRP are widely available, no data are available for SAA. Here we report the results of a study to determine the biological variability of SAA; as a methodologic control, we also determined the biological variability for CRP. Five blood specim...
متن کاملComparison of Clinical, Functional, and Radiological Outcomes of Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Conventional and Patient-Specific Instrumentation
Background: Recently, patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) systems have been developed in order to increase theaccuracy of component positioning during total knee arthroplasty (TKA); however, the findings of previous studies arecontroversial in this regard. In the current randomized clinical study, the outcomes of computer tomography (CT)-basedPS (patient specific)-guided TK...
متن کاملVariability in the measurement of C-reactive protein in healthy subjects: implications for reference intervals and epidemiological applications.
We developed a reproducible ELISA for C-reactive protein (CRP), calibrated with WHO Reference Material, for which intra- and interassay CVs were 3.0% and 6.0%, respectively. Analytical recovery was 97.9%. The distribution of CRP in a healthy blood donor population (n = 143) was nongaussian, with 2.5th, 50th, and 97.5th percentile values of 0.08, 0.64, and 3.11 mg/L, respectively. There was no s...
متن کاملGiuseppe Lippi Biological variation : back to basics
The appreciation of the substantial influence of biological variation (BV) on laboratory testing and interpretation of laboratory results has represented a milestone in the history of laboratory medicine. It has paved the way for a wide series of studies aimed to accurately define the components of BV, set analytical quality specifications and related goals for internal quality control and exte...
