Background: New ID-MS traceable creatinine kits including enzymatic creatinine (e-creat) and compensated Jaffe (j-creat) has been developed by Olympus.
Methods: Analytical performances of these reagents were tested on an AU 640 analyzer. A comparison study was performed against the method used in our laboratory (Randox creatinine enzymatic). Values of the glomerular filtration rate estimated (eGFR) from ID-MS traceable equation were compared to the GFR measured (mGFR) by a reference isotope method in a kidney transplant cohort.
Results: Total intra- and inter-assay variation coefficients were below 4%. Creatinine values were correlated with the Randox enzymatic method (e-creat = 0.98 Randox - 0.48 and j-creat = 0.99 Randox - 1.44, r2 = 0.98). Values of eGFR obtained with both e-creat and j-creat were well correlated to mGFR in our population of renal transplants.
Conclusions: The new ID-MS traceable methods improved estimation of GFR by predictive equations. However, the limitation of the Jaffe method in specific populations such as paediatric and elderly patients needs further investigations.

Objectives: An analytical protocol based on isotope dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (ID-LC-MS/MS), which includes a peptide-based calibration strategy, was developed and validated for the determination of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels in clinical samples. Additionally, the developed method was compared with a protein-based calibration strategy, using cTnI serving as a model for low-abundant proteins. The aim is to evaluate new approaches for protein quantification in complex matrices, supporting the metrology community in implementing new methods and developing fit-for-purpose SI- traceable peptide or protein primary calibrators.

Background: The relationship between salivary cortisol secretion and the presence of cancer in the oral cavity has not been completely clarified. Due to this, we proposed carrying out a study to determine salivary cortisol levels in patients with potentially malignant disorders (PMD), oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and healthy individuals.
Material And Methods: Cross-sectional case-control study, among 80 patients seen at the Faculty of Dentistry of the National University of Rosario, Argentina, between January 2018 and April 2020.

As an emerging neurodegenerative disease, Alzheimer's disease (AD) has become a leading cause of dementia in older adults. Visinin-like protein-1 (VILIP-1) is an increasingly used biomarker for AD besides the widely accepted Aβ, Aβ, and tau. However, significant variations exist in the commercial immuno-based assays for VILIP-1 quantification, underlining the necessity to establish a traceability chain.

To achieve the measurement reliability of amino acids used as diagnostic markers in clinical fields, establishing a reference measurement system is required, in which certified reference materials (CRMs) are an essential step in the hierarchy of measurement traceability. This study describes the development of dried blood spot (DBS) CRMs for amino acid analysis with complete measurement traceability to the International System of Units (SI). Six essential amino acids─proline, valine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, and tyrosine─were analyzed using isotope-dilution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (ID-MS).

Objectives: Synthetic B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is employed in most clinical testing platforms as a raw material of calibrator. Characterization of impurities with structures similar (BNPstrimp compounds) to that of BNP is a reasonable way to decrease clinical measurement errors and improve drug safety.
Methods: A novel quantitative method targeted towards BNPstrimp compounds was developed.
