Dear All, Are there any labs out there routinely analysing chemistry samples for EDTA contamination? If so, what method and platform are you using and how do you manage the logistics e.g. do you assay all samples with raised potassium or only assay samples that you strongly suspect are contaminated i.e. significantly raised potassium, low calcium etc? Best wishes, Nicola Nicola Pullan Clinical Scientist - Biochemistry Pathology Sciences Laboratory Southmead Hospital Westbury on Trym Bristol, BS10 5NB Email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Tel: 0117 32 38514 ________________________________ From: Clinical biochemistry discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Anne Dawnay Sent: 29 August 2013 20:51 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: NICE AKI http://guidance.nice.org.uk/CG169 NICE CG169 on Acute kidney injury: Prevention, detection and management of acute kidney injury up to the point of renal replacement therapy was published yesterday. Items of interest to many labs (e-alerts, creatinine-related issues) were not in scope and therefore not subjects for review, but they are discussed in the recommendations and link to evidence section of chapter 7 on the detection of AKI in the full guideline. best wishes Anne Dr Anne Dawnay PhD FRCPath Clinical Lead for Clinical Biochemistry 020 344 72954 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This email is confidential and is intended solely for the person or entity to whom it is addressed.
