H. Gourlain et al., STUDY OF THE MECHANISMS INVOLVED IN HYDROXOCOBALAMIN INTERFERENCE WITH DETERMINATION OF SOME BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS, Annales de biologie clinique, 52(2), 1994, pp. 121-124
Hydroxocobalamin (OHCo), a red pigment used as an antidote in cyanide
poisoning, interferes with determination of some biochemical parameter
s. Plasma pools were spiked with two concentrations of OHCo and eight
parameters (CK, SGOT, SGPT, ALP, lactic acid, creatinine, glucose, bil
irubin) were assayed using Dimension and Aca m automated analyzers (Du
Pont Instruments), Two parameters were affected by the presence of OH
Co: CK and bilirubin. This study documents the type of interferences,
spectral or chemical, and its probable causes.
