    Abstract Background: Lipaemic interference on automated analysers has been widely studied using soy-based emulsion such as Intralipid. Due to the greater adoption of fish oil-based lipid emulsion for total parenteral nutrition in view of improved clinical outcomes, we seek to characterize the optical properties of SMOFlipid 20% (Fresenius Kabi, Bad Homburg, Germany), a fish oil-based emulsion, on the Roche Cobas 6000 chemistry analyser (Roche Diagnostic, Basel, Switzerland).
    Method: Various amounts of SMOFlipid were spiked into pooled serums. We plotted Roche Cobas Serum Index Gen.2 Lipaemia Index (L-index) against the amount of SMOFlipid added. We then studied the interference thresholds for aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, albumin and renal panel analytes using SMOFlipid. We subjected five levels of spiked lipaemia to high-speed centrifugation and analysed the specimens pre- and post-centrifugation. To postulate whether fish oil-based lipid emulsion interferes with laboratory results in the clinical setting, we calculated concentrations of SMOFlipid post-lipid rescue therapy and steady-state concentration of a typical total parenteral nutrition regime using pharmacokinetic principles.
    Results: SMOFlipid optical behaviour is similar to Intralipid using the Serum Index Gen.2 L-index, with 1 mg/dL of SMOFlipid representing 1 unit of L-index. Manufacturer-stated interference thresholds are accurate for alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, albumin, urea and creatinine. High-speed centrifugation at 60 min 21,100
    Conclusion: Based on the interference thresholds we verified and pharmacokinetics parameters provided by SMOFlipid manufacturer, total parenteral nutrition may not interfere with chemistry analytes given sufficient clearance, but lipid rescue therapy will interfere. Further studies assessing lipaemic interference on immunoassays are needed.

    Abstract The management of diabetes mellitus in an insulin-dependent patient is challenging in the setting of concomitant antibody-mediated-insulin hypersensitivity. We report a case of a 62-year-old woman with pre-existing type 2 diabetes mellitus of 10 years duration who developed type 3 hypersensitivity reaction to insulin analogue detemir, and subsequently, severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). She was C-peptide negative and was diagnosed with insulin-dependent diabetes. Despite increasing dose adjustments, insulin-meal matching, and compliance with insulin, she experienced episodes of unexpected hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia. The development of rash after detemir initiation and rapid progression to DKA suggests an aberrant immune response leading to the insulin allergy and antibody-induced interference with insulin analogues. Glycaemic control in the patient initially improved after being started on subcutaneous insulin infusion pump with reduced insulin requirements. However, after a year on pump therapy, localised insulin hypersensitivity reactions started, and glycaemic control gradually deteriorated.

    Abstract Urine albumin concentration and albumin–creatinine ratio are important for the screening of early-stage kidney damage. Commutable urine certified reference materials (CRMs) for albumin and creatinine are necessary for standardization of urine albumin and accurate measurement of albumin–urine ratio. Two urine CRMs for albumin and creatinine with certified values determined using higher-order reference measurement procedures were evaluated for their commutability on five brands/models of clinical analyzers where different reagent kits were used, including Roche Cobas c702, Roche Cobas c311, Siemens Atellica CH, Beckman Coulter AU5800, and Abbott Architect c16000. The commutability study was conducted by measuring at least 26 authentic patient urine samples and the human urine CRMs using both reference measurement procedures and the routine methods. Both the linear regression model suggested by the Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) guidelines and log-transformed model recommended by the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) Commutability Working Group were used to evaluate the commutability of the human urine CRMs. The commutability of the human urine CRMs was found to be generally satisfactory on all five clinical analyzers for both albumin and creatinine, suggesting that they are suitable to be used routinely by clinical laboratories as quality control or for method validation of urine albumin and creatinine measurements.

    Abstract Introduction and objectives: Identification of the J-point and measurement of ST segment elevation at the J-point are important for the diagnosis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We conducted a study to determine the inter-rater reliability (IRR) of J-point location and measurement of the magnitude of ST elevation at the J-point on ECGs of patients with STEMI by emergency department (ED) doctors.
    Subjects and methods: Each participant examined 20 STEMI ECGs during a 1-month period in 2013. The participants were required to locate the J-point by selecting the small 1 mm square within which the J-point is located and measure the magnitude of ST elevation at the J-point identified (rounded up to the nearest 0.5 mm). The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated to assess the IRR.
    Results: Thirty doctors participated. The ICC assessing the degree to which all participants provided agreement in their assessment of the location of J-points across ECGs was 0.85 (95% CI 0.75 to 0.93), which is in the excellent range. The ICC for assessing the magnitude of ST elevation was 0.97 (95% CI 0.94 to 0.98), indicating excellent agreement as well.
    Conclusions: ED doctors show a high level of agreement when determining the location of J-points and measuring the magnitude of ST elevation at those J-points on ECGs of patients with STEMI. The findings support the measurement of ST segment elevation at the J-point in STEMI cases and should be regarded as a consistent standard to avoid confusion.
