We report a newborn with a compound heterozygosity for Hb O-Arab (: 364G>A) and Hb D-Los Angeles (: 364G>C). To the best of our knowledge, the combination of these two hemoglobin (Hb) variants has not been identified and reported before. The variants of the proband and parents were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE).

Background Failure to report a creatinine concentration, especially in icteric patients who are eligible for a liver transplant, can result in a life-threatening situation. We assessed the influence of bilirubin interference on several creatinine assays and investigated ways to circumvent icteric interference without interfering with our normal automated sample logistics. Methods Using icteric patient sera (total bilirubin >255 μmol/L) we determined creatinine concentrations using an enzymatic and Jaffé assay (Roche Diagnostics) in both normal (i.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare different analytical methods that are currently in use in the Netherlands for the measurement of whole blood vitamin B6.

Methods: This method comparison study consisted of two separate parts. (1) Four laboratories participated in a pilot study in which the commercial Chromsystems and INstruchemie method, and a laboratory developed liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method and HPLC method were compared.
