: 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), parathyroid hormone (PTH) and bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP) are biomarkers of calcium/phosphate metabolism and bone turnover. Although vitamin D deficiency is a well-known cause of secondary hyperparathyroidism, few studies have considered vitamin D status when establishing reference ranges. In this study, we report PTH levels according to the vitamin D status and BALP levels in a large cohort of 1200 children.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the simultaneous measurement of vitamin D metabolites (25(OH)D and 24,25(OH)2D) to predict vitamin D deficiency and evaluate the function of the CYP24A1 enzyme.
  • Researchers analyzed serum samples from 1,200 young individuals and found that a notable percentage had undetectable levels of 24,25(OH)2D, especially when 25(OH)D levels were low.
  • They propose a statistical method to assess CYP24A1 function based on 25(OH)D concentration and suggest that vitamin D deficiency could be defined around 20 ng/mL, allowing for more personalized evaluations.

Background: We carried out a technical evaluation of the Immunodiagnostic Systems (IDS) automated intact procollagen-I N-terminus propeptide (PINP) assay on the iSYS platform, and established reference intervals for PINP in both adults and children.

Methods: Assay imprecision, recovery and interference were studied. Serum and plasma values were compared, and PINP stability was assessed.

Background: The study was conducted to evaluate the technical and clinical performance of the VITROS® Immunodiagnostic Products 25-OH Vitamin D Total Assay, and compare it with the performance of five marketed automated assays and a liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry reference method (LC-MS/MS).

Methods: Three hundred patient serum samples were used to compare the correlation of the VITROS® 25-OH Vitamin D Total Assay with both the other immunoassays and the LC-MS/MS method, using Passing-Bablok regression and Bland-Altman analyses. Concordance of the diagnosis of vitamin D status was calculated to test the agreement between the different assays.

Background: We validated the DiaSorin Liaison Calcitonin_II-Gen, an improved method for calcitonin (CT) measurements, compared this method with the Cisbio_h-CT kit and established the reference range of CT in a normal adult population.

Methods: We determined the precision, functional sensitivity, traceability to the 2nd IS 89/620, linearity and measurement uncertainty, accuracy profile and β-expectation limits. We evaluated the specificity, the susceptibility to human anti-animal antibodies (HAMA), hook-effect and carry over.

Background: The goal of this study was to validate the DiaSorin Liaison BAP OSTASE, a new method for measurement of bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), and to compare this method with the Beckman-Coulter Access Ostase. We also wanted to establish the reference range for BAP in adults and children.

Methods: We determined the precision, functional sensitivity, recovery, linearity and measurement uncertainty, accuracy profile and beta-expectation limits.
