Abstract | Although enzymatic creatinine methods are subject to fewer interferences than traditional Jaffe creatinine methods, every method in clinical chemistry has limitations. We report, for the first time in the literature, a case of an immunoglobulin M (IgM) paraproteinaemia causing an undetectably low creatinine result on the Roche enzymatic assay. This interference did not occur with other enzymatic creatinine methods produced by Abbott and Siemens or the Roche Jaffe, VITROS dry slide and liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) creatinine methods. IgM interference was confirmed as patient serum precipitated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and anti-IgM antiserum yielded detectable Roche enzymatic creatinine results comparable to unaffected methods. The patient's serum formed an obvious precipitate when mixed with reagent one of the Roche enzymatic creatinine method. This is in contrast to a report of positive interference from IgM paraproteinaemia in a different enzymatic creatinine method, which showed that a precipitate formed when mixing blood with reagent two. As each patient's paraprotein has a unique structure, it is possible that there are variations in the chemical characteristics of IgM paraproteins between patients. This, as well as IgM-class antibodies' tendency to form multimers and aggregates, can lead to unpredictable assay interferences and precipitation tendencies between different manufacturers of enzymatic creatinine reagents and their incubation steps. This case highlights the importance of continuing to question and investigates results that do not fit the clinical picture, especially as more laboratories switch from primarily using traditional Jaffe creatinine methods to enzymatic creatinine methods. |
