Blood creatinine measurements show significant inter-assay variation, impacting glomerular filtration rate (GFR) predictions. Standardized calibration using multiple concentrations, especially near 90-150 micromol/L, is crucial for improving accuracy in diagnosing mild chronic kidney disease.

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Chemistry
  • Biomarker Measurement
  • Renal Function Assessment

Context:

  • Serum creatinine is a key biomarker for assessing kidney function.
  • High inter-assay variation in creatinine measurements complicates accurate GFR and creatinine clearance estimations.
  • Current calibration methods may not adequately address variability across different analytical platforms.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the inter-assay variability and accuracy of various blood creatinine measurement methods.
  • To determine the impact of standardized calibration procedures on reducing this variability.
  • To identify optimal calibration strategies for improving creatinine assay reliability.

Summary:

  • Seventeen creatinine assays were evaluated using human sera and reference materials.

  • Significant inaccuracy (>10%) was observed for assays measuring creatinine levels below 150 micromol/L.
  • Standardized calibration, particularly using calibrators near the target concentration range (90-150 micromol/L), significantly reduced inter-assay variation within assay types.

    • Impact:

    • Current inter-assay variation is too high for reliable GFR or creatinine clearance prediction.
    • Implementing multi-concentration calibration, including levels indicative of mild chronic kidney disease, is recommended.
    • Standardization efforts could improve diagnostic accuracy for renal impairment and facilitate GFR estimation algorithms.
