ABSTRACT
Concentrations of 14 commonly-requested plasma hormones were measured in octuplicate in each of six subjects to determine their stability when unseparated from red cells for periods up to 1 week. Most of the analytes were stable when stored in this way and although statistically significant changes were recorded, in the great majority of cases the changes seen would have no bearing on the clinical interpretation of the result. In the light of these findings, we would confidently report results of analyses for these hormones in plasma that had remained in contact with red cells at ambient temperature for long periods of time.
