Key result
Troponin I concentrations measured with the Advia Centaur TnI-Ultra assay differ between heparinized plasma and serum samples.
Why the study?
Do Troponin I concentrations differ between heparinized plasma and serum when measured with the Advia Centaur TnI-Ultra assay?
Do Troponin I concentrations differ between heparinized plasma and serum when measured with the Advia Centaur TnI-Ultra assay?
Troponin I concentrations differ depending on whether heparinized plasma or serum is used with the Advia Centaur TnI-Ultra assay, which may impact clinical interpretation.
Troponin I values may differ by sample type; leaves open effects on diagnostic thresholds and need for standardization.
Cardiac troponins I (TnI) and T (TnT) are the preferred diagnostic markers of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) 1. Most laboratories prefer heparinized plasma over serum for the analysis in order t...
