Objective: HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) is the most commonly used method to differentiate the subtypes of hemoglobin in screening for hemoglobinopathy. Today, different models and trademarks of HPLC equipment have been used in screening for hemoglobinopathy....
Aim: Since glomerular filtration rate (GFR) determined by 24 hours urine is cumbersome, nephrologists recommend using an estimated GFR (eGFR). This study aimed to investigate the agreement between Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) and Chronic Kidney Disease...
Objective: Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is the best indicator for the reflecting of kidney function in health and disease. In this study we compared -Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) calculation formulas – 4 variables Modification of Renal Disease (MDRD) formula with the 6...
Aim: Beta thalassemias are common autosomal recessive inherited hemoglobinopathy worldwide. Hemoglobin A2 levels are the most important parameter used to determine beta-thalassemia carriers. One of the most commonly used methods for HbA2 measurement is high-performance...
Objectives: Drug abuse tests are applied to determine drug use to combat disease, crime, or substance abuse. We aimed to investigate whether cheaper and more practical plastic tubes can be an alternative to glass tubes for drug abuse analysis in urine.

Objective: Glomerular filtration rate is one of the best indicators of renal function. It is usually determined indirectly by calculating renal clearance of endogenous filtration markers creatinine or urea. In addition, different formulas have been developed for determining...
Objective: Transferrin isoform analysis is performed for diagnosis of congenital or acquired defects in protein glycosylation. The reference method for transferrin isoform analysis is isoelectric focusing electrophoresis. The objective of this study has been to perform...
Purpose: To assess the role of NMP22 and cytology in diagnosing primary and recurrent bladder cancer and to compare the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, accuracy by means of staging, grading, dimensions and the number of the tumours.
...Objective: Immune methods those were used in the laboratories for serum TSH measurements, were standardized. Functional sensitivity of TSH tests is expected to be ²0.02 mIU/L. We aimed to compare the performances of three different immunassay devices for third generation TSH...
Objective: It's important to determine reliable reference intervals for all the test parameters of the clinical laboratory, but it's usually hard to obtain useful and necessary clinical data. Although the procedure of indirect determination of reference intervals using...
