Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the influence of hemolysis on serum glucose (Glu) determination by hexokinase(HK)assay. Methods The hemoglobin (Hb) was identified as an interfering substance by paired-difference experiment according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) EP7-A2 document. The correlation between Hb level and interference was evaluated by dose-effect experiment. Results Paired-difference experiment showed that Hb at 5 g/L could influence high-level and middle-level Glu determinations. Dose-effect experiment with 5 levels of Hb showed that there existed non-linear interference in Glu determination. The non-linear equations were Y=6.496+0.160 5X-0.013 10X2 for middle-level Glu determination (r2=0.983) and Y=10.13+0.211 0X-0.017 83X2 for high-level Glu determination (r2=0.973). Conclusions There exists interference for Glu determination from hemolytic samples by HK assay. It should avoid hemolytic samples if necessary. If another sample is not available,the hemolysis degree and potential interference should be attached to the laboratory report sheets for clinical reference.
