title: [Method selected for the determination of creatinine in plasma or serum. Choice of optimal conditions of measurement].
abstract: The method selected by the SFBC (Société française de biologie clinique) is derived from the colorimetric reaction of creatinine with alkaline picrate, measured kinetically, without any pretreatment step. The key parameters of the reaction determining the quality of the results are studied, with special regard to samples including known interferents. The aims of the study were to gain an optimal analytical sensitivity and to reduce main interferences (acetoacetate, bilirubine, glucose, protein) which plague the Jaffé reaction, through a comprehensive study of the reagents, of their concentrations and of the analytical procedures. The selected concentrations (in the test) are: 150 mmol/L sodium hydroxide, 10 mmol/L picric acid and 2 g/L sodium dodecyl sulfate. Ten millilitres of a BRIJ solution (30% volvol) are added to the reagent. The operating procedures are as follow: sample ratio 0.07 to 0.08; wavelength 505 to 510 nm; temperature 37 degrees C; incubation of the specimen with the alkaline reagent 5 mn (at least), before starting the reaction with picric acid. A seric calibrator is recommended. The first measurement is taken 20 to 40 s after starting the reaction. Total measurement time is 120 to 150 seconds.
