Background: The capillary zone electrophoresis method of albumin measurement is frequently used in monoclonal gammopathy patients but some studies suggest poor performances of the method in this population. The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of serum monoclonal immunoglobulins on human serum albumin determination by capillary zone electrophoresis method compared to other available methods.
Method: We prospectively measured albumin in 100 freshly collected non-frozen serum samples in a monoclonal gammopathy patients population, by using four different methods: the capillary zone electrophoresis method, the bromocresol purple dye method, the nephelometric method and the turbidimetric method.
Background: The capillary zone electrophoresis method of albumin measurement is frequently used for oncologic and haematologic patients but few data exist about the agreement between the albumin measurements performed by capillary zone electrophoresis and other methods. The aim of this study was to analyse the agreement between human serum albumin measurements by capillary zone electrophoresis and by the nephelometry, bromocresol purple and turbidimetry methods.
Method: We prospectively measured 100 freshly collected non-frozen patient serum samples, by using four different methods: the capillary zone electrophoresis method performed with a CAPILLARYS 2 instrument, the bromocresol purple dye method performed with an Advia XPT analyser, the nephelometric method performed with a BN ProSpec analyser and the turbidimetric method with reagents from DiAgam and performed with the Advia XPT analyser.
