Those who participate in the Cases for Coment will recognise the information
from the most recent case. At QE Gateshead we use a trop T assay. I was
confused by the 'Troponin I - quoted cut-off value 0.10 ug/L'.
I now understand that the functional sensitivity for trop I on the Centaur
using the best assay is < 0.05ug/l and that the value 0.1 ug/L is that
associated with significant myocardial damage, probably MI.
Regards and thanks to all who responded,
David Burgess.
