Glucose Interference in Serum and Urine Samples with Various Creatinine Concentrations Measured by the Jaffe Kinetic Method.

Background: The effect of glucose interference on creatinine measurement by Jaffe kinetic method differs between serum and urine specimens. We investigated the effects of creatinine concentration and specimen dilution on glucose interference with urine creatinine measurement.

Methods: Leftover serum and urine specimens were collected and stored at -20°C until study.

Comparison of the complete filtration method using an automated feces analyzer with three manual methods for stool examinations.

Conventional diagnostic techniques using manual methods for stool examination have important limitations. Hence there is a need for improved technologies in routine clinical practice. This study aimed to compare detection rates, agreements, and diagnostic performances for stool examinations in all parameters of the complete filtration method using the Sciendox Feces Analysis System-50 automated feces analyzer with three manual methods, the direct smear, Kato's thick smear, and formalin ethyl concentration techniques.

A comparison of automated urine analyzers cobas 6500, UN 3000-111b and iRICELL 3000 with manual microscopic urinalysis.

Objectives: Microscopic examination is essential in urine analysis. This is a simple way to collect informative data but it is also labor-intensive, time-consuming, and requires experienced staff for accurate results and interpretation. Several automated urine analyzers have been introduced for urine analysis in medical laboratories.
