Interference in colorimetric reactions for measuring hydrogen peroxide.

D R James, C P Price

    Annals of Clinical Biochemistry
    |September 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Serum from chronic renal failure patients contains a substance interfering with uric acid measurement. This interference affects hydrogen peroxide detection, impacting diagnostic accuracy for kidney disease patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Biochemistry
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Accurate uric acid measurement is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring kidney function.
    • Uricase-based assays are common but can be susceptible to interference.
    • Chronic renal failure (CRF) can alter serum composition, potentially affecting assay performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify and characterize an interfering substance in the serum of CRF patients.
    • To investigate the impact of this interferent on uric acid measurement using a specific enzymatic assay.
    • To understand the nature of the interfering substance.

    Main Methods:

    • Serum samples from patients with chronic renal failure were analyzed.
    • A uricase-based assay with peroxidase detection was employed for uric acid measurement.
    • Recovery studies were performed using added hydrogen peroxide and sarcosine.

    Main Results:

    • Evidence of a constituent in CRF serum interfering with uric acid measurement was found.
    • The interference specifically affected the peroxidase-assisted detection of hydrogen peroxide.
    • Reduced recovery of hydrogen peroxide and sarcosine was observed in CRF patient serum, irrespective of hemodialysis status.

    Conclusions:

    • A substance, potentially protein-bound, in CRF serum interferes with uric acid assays.
    • This interference compromises the accuracy of uric acid level determination in CRF patients.
    • Further investigation is needed to fully elucidate the nature and clinical implications of this interferent.
