Elimination of error caused by hemolysis and bilirubin-induced color quenching in clinical radioimmunoassays.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In radioimmunoassays and radioassays for various constituents of serum, color quenching is a source of error when liquid-scintillation methods are used in samples that contain hemolyzed blood and samples from jaundiced patients. A quench correction can be made by using the External Standard Channels Ratio method and normalizing the ratios, or, alternatively, by chemical decolorization with tetramethylammonium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, and ascorbic acid.

Intravascular hemolysis associated with Candidatus Mycoplasma hematoparvum in a non-splenectomized dog in the south region of Iran
A 2-year-old male Pekingese dog was referred to Shiraz University’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital for anorexia and depression. The case had no history of surgery. Physical examination revealed no abnormalities except mild depression and fever. Small, coccoid, epicellular bacteria were detected on erythrocytes by microscopic examination of the Giemsa-stained blood smears. Abnormalities noted in t...
متن کاملEffect of hemolysis and hyperbilirubinemia in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-deficient neonates
Objective: Recently, the role of hemolysis in the pathophysiology of hyperbilirubinemia in glucose-6phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient neonates has been questioned and decreased bilirubin conjugation has been suggested. We conducted a study to evaluate the effect of hemolysis on these neonates at the 17-Shahrivar Children Hospital in Rasht. Methods: In this cross-sectional s...
متن کاملUnderstanding neonatal jaundice: a perspective on causation.
Neonatal jaundice can be best understood as a balance between the production and elimination of bilirubin, with a multitude of factors and conditions affecting each of these processes. When an imbalance results because of an increase in circulating bilirubin (or the bilirubin load) to significantly high levels (severe hyperbilirubinemia), it may cause permanent neurologic sequelae (kernicterus)...

Intruduction: There is a growing concern about an increasing bilirubin-induced neurological dysfunction (BIND) in healthy term neonates with no evidence of hemolytic disease or other risk factors. This study was done to determine the incidence of BIND in otherwise healthy, breast-fed newborn term infants without hemolysis who underwent exchange transfusion. Methods: This study was conducted i...
متن کاملCharacterization and mathematical correction of hemolysis interference in selected Hitachi 717 assays.
The effect of hemolysis on several assays performed with the Hitachi 717 was quantified by relating the amount of error to the concentration of hemoglobin. Hemolysis interference was judged clinically significant when analyte concentration varied by > 10% from the initial value. Hemolysis interference was significant for alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, alpha-amylase, bilirubin...
