An Approach to Include the Cost of Consumables in Biochemistry Analyzer Procurement on the Reagent Rental Model Alleviates Hidden Expenses.
EJIFCC

Department of Biochemistry, Dr Ram Manohar Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
Article Synopsis
- Clinical biochemistry analyzers are crucial for disease diagnosis, but purchasing decisions often focus only on the initial costs, neglecting the total cost of ownership.
- A new method was developed to calculate cost-per-reportable-test (CPRT) by including all hidden and fixed expenses, making it easier to compare financial results of different analyzer bids.
- This approach revealed that costs for maintenance-free reagent rental bids were 47.4% lower than previous purchase-based costs, highlighting significant savings and more accurate comparisons among analyzers.
Comparative Analysis of HbA1c Estimation Using Immunoturbidimetry and High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography Methods in Non-Dialysis Chronic Kidney Disease Patients.
EJIFCC
October 2024
Department of Biochemistry, Dr Ram Manohar Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) often coexists with diabetes, anemia, and uremia, presenting challenges in monitoring HbA1c levels.
- A study conducted at Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Institute analyzed HbA1c values in 127 non-dialysis CKD patients using two methods: turbidimetric inhibition immunoassay (TINIA) and high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC).
- Results showed TINIA was unable to detect HbA1c in 21.26% of patients, particularly anemic ones, and generally produced lower values than HPLC, especially in diabetic patients.
