Flucytosine medication can cause falsely high serum creatinine readings on the Kodak Ektachem-700 analyzer. This drug interaction necessitates careful interpretation of kidney function tests in patients.

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Chemistry
  • Pharmacology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Drug interactions can affect laboratory test results.
  • Accurate assessment of renal function is crucial in patient care.

Observation:

  • A patient on intravenous amphotericin B and oral flucytosine exhibited falsely elevated serum creatinine.
  • Serum creatinine levels were measured using both Kodak Ektachem-700 and Jaffe reaction methods.

Findings:

  • Flucytosine interferes with serum creatinine measurements on the Kodak Ektachem-700 analyzer.
  • The Jaffe reaction method did not show interference from flucytosine.

Implications:

  • Clinicians must be aware of flucytosine's interference with specific creatinine assays.

  • Alternative methods like the Jaffe reaction may be necessary for accurate renal function monitoring in patients taking flucytosine.
