Objective: HDL is considered as anti-atherogenic and it exerts this effect with reverse cholesterol transport and with the contribution of enzymes such as paraoxonase and platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase. Data on biological variation can be used to determine the...
Background: The evaluation of pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical phases is very important to obtain accurate, price and comparable results. Quality indicators are generally used to evaluate these processes. The present study aimed to evaluate the analytical phase...
Objective: To compare the analytical performance of 2 immunoturbidimetric C-reactive protein (CRP) reagents using the same automated analyzer and to evaluate whether an alternative reagent provides clinically acceptable results.
Methods: This...
Objective: The aim of this study, was to determine whether the Troponin I and CK-MB test results obtained from our laboratory meet the acceptable quality standards.
Material and Methods: Total %CV of troponin I and CK-MB was obtained from internal...
Objective: In the study, it was aimed to determine the harmony of LDL-C levels determined by enzymatic(direct) and computational method, to have an idea about the optimal request frequency by examining the significance of the percentage changes of repeated LDL-C measurements...
