ABSTRACT
Different methods can give different results for the same analyte, and inconsistent answers may be obtained if such results are used in linear discriminant functions. This is an important factor to consider when transporting linear discriminant functions from one laboratory to another; the example of alkaline phosphatase activity and the differential diagnosis of hypercalcaemia has recently been given. This study shows that results obtained by the method recommended by the Scandinavian Committee on Enzymes for alkaline phosphatase may be used in the calculation of the discriminant functions used for the differential diagnosis of hypercalcaemia and considers other factors that may affect the discrimination. It is concluded that, with care, linear discriminant functions may be transported from one laboratory to another.
