ABSTRACT
Background:
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), total protein (TP) and glucose (Glu) in pleural hydrothorax and ascites can be used in the diagnosis of exudate, and adenosine deaminase (ADA) can be used in the diagnosis of tuberculous effusion. However, the manufacturers do not claim that their biochemical reagents can be used to detect hydrothorax and ascites samples. Therefore, medical laboratories must conduct suitability studies on biochemical reagents for hydrothorax and ascites samples to comply with regulatory requirements for humor detection. This study aimed to verify the analytical performance and clinical diagnostic accuracy of the Mindray biochemical reagents, including LDH, TP, Glu and ADA, for hydrothorax and ascites.Methods:
The repeatability, detection limits and reference intervals of Mindray biochemical reagents (LDH, TP, Glu, ADA) in detecting hydrothorax and ascites were determined. The comparison of different measurement procedures was performed. Meanwhile, the diagnostic accuracy of LDH, TP, Glu and ADA were assessed.Results:
The quality control results of LDH, TP, Glu, and ADA were all under control. The repeatability coefficient of variation (%) of LDH, TP, Glu, and ADA were all less than 1%. The limits of blank of LDH, TP, Glu, and ADA were 0.33 U/L, 0.45 g/L, 0.00 mmol/L, and 0.04 U/L, respectively; the limits of detection were 1.57 U/L, 1.85 g/L, 0.05 mmol/L, and 0.12 U/L, respectively. Compared with the reference measurement program, the correlation coefficients of LDH, TP, Glu and ADA were 0.9931, 0.9983, 0.9996 and 0.9966, respectively; the regression equations were y=1.0082x-10.06, y=0.9965x-0.4732, y=0.9903x+0.0522 and y=1.0051x-0.0232, respectively. The reference intervals of LDH, TP, Glu, and ADA in hydrothorax and ascites were ≤198.39 U/L, ≤32.97 g/L, ≥5.03 mmol/L. and ≤11.00 U/L respectively. For differentiating between exudates and transudates, the area under the curve (AUC) of LDH, TP, and Glu were 0.913, 0.875, and 0.767, respectively; the AUC of ADA for the differential diagnosis of tuberculous and nontuberculous effusions was 0.876.Conclusions:
The LDH, TP, Glu, and ADA assays were validated for use with the Mindray BS-2800 analyzer for hydrothorax and ascites evaluation. LDH, TP, and Glu in hydrothorax and ascites are applicable to the differential diagnosis of exudates and transudates; ADA in hydrothorax and ascites can be employed to differentiate and diagnose tuberculous and nontuberculous effusions.
