Lithium heparinised blood-collection tubes give falsely low albumin results with an automated bromcresol green method in haemodialysis patients

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the cause of markedly low albumin values determined by a bromcresol green (BCG) method in patients on haemodialysis.

Methods: Serum and heparinised plasma from haemodialysis patients and normal controls were collected...

Keywords: Albumin, bromcresol green, bromcresol purple, haemodialysis, heparin

Changes in serum fetuin-A and inflammatory markers levels in end-stage renal disease (ESRD): effect of a single session haemodialysis

Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a single haemodialysis (HD) session on serum fetuin-A levels, considered a negative acute phase response marker; moreover, we evaluated the behaviour of fibrinogen and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) as acute phase response and chronic/subclinical inflammation markers, respectively, after a single HD session.

Methods: Serum fetuin-A, albumin, hsCRP and fibrinogen were measured in 72 patients before and after a single HD session.

Results: After a single HD session, we observed a significant increase in fibrinogen levels, while fetuin-A levels decreased (p<0.05)...

Keywords: calcification, fetuin-A, haemodialysis, inflammation
