What type of creatinine assay is being used? -----Original Message----- From: Clinical biochemistry discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Denise Darby Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2010 4:44 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Creatinine assay interference ? Dear All We have also recently just had a case of creatinine interference following IV dexamethasone despite not previously experiencing such problems. Discussion with pharmacy revealed that they have recently changed supplier to Hospira UK LTD which contains creatinine as an excipient unlike the previous brand we were using. Pharmacy suggested that there are problems nationwide with supply of the previous brand and most of the country is now using the Hospira brand. It might be worth checking with your pharmacy to see if they have also recently changed suppliers.
