Falsely elevated urinary C-peptide during angiotensin receptor–neprilysin inhibitor therapy: A case report

Mon, 03/16/2026 - 12:23
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry, Ahead of Print.
BackgroundUrinary C-peptide testing is widely used to evaluate insulin secretion capacity from pancreatic β-cells. We report a case in which urinary C-peptide showed abnormally high levels during treatment with an angiotensin receptor–neprilysin ...

Paraprotein interference in bilirubin assays: A case of multiple myeloma highlighting the reliability of dry chemistry

Mon, 03/16/2026 - 06:41
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry, Ahead of Print.
The presence of paraproteins in multiple myeloma can cause analytical interference, resulting in unusual and misleading biochemical outcomes. An uncommon but clinically relevant finding is the reporting of a negative direct bilirubin result on wet ...

A survey of clinical laboratories in the Netherlands regarding pre-analytical conditions of renin measurements to prevent cryoactivation

Tue, 03/03/2026 - 10:45
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry, Ahead of Print.
BackgroundExposure of plasma to low temperatures induces the conversion of prorenin to renin, causing falsely elevated levels of renin. This also happens at storage temperatures of −20°C. Our survey evaluated the pre-analytical procedures used by clinical ...

Inosine attenuates glycolysis in erythrocytes via glucose transporter inhibition

Mon, 03/02/2026 - 11:35
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry, Ahead of Print.
BackgroundBlood glucose concentrations decrease after blood collection. We recently developed novel blood collection tubes containing inosine added to sodium fluoride (NaF; FI tubes), which effectively inhibits post-collection blood glucose decline. ...

The implementation of electronic clinical decision tools to reduce inappropriate urine and swab requests: A diagnostic stewardship intervention to reduce the environmental impact of laboratory testing

Mon, 03/02/2026 - 11:33
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry, Ahead of Print.
BackgroundThe NHS accounts for approximately 4–5% of England’s total carbon footprint and was the first healthcare organisation to commit to a net-zero target. Reducing the inappropriate use of diagnostic tests could play a meaningful role in reaching ...
