By exploiting the kinetics of NADH consumption in the enzyme system creatinine amidohydrolase + creatine kinase + pyruvate kinase + lactate dehydrogenase, one can determine creatinine in serum in the range of 1 to 90 mg/L. By using the conditions defined here, this determination can be made with a single measurement of the rate of disappearance of NADH. The analytical rate measurement is made at a fixed time (2 min) after the sample is introduced into the enzyme solution. For this fixed time, the interferences of creatine and pyruvate are eliminated. Results so obtained for creatinine in human blood serum samples correlated well (r = 0.98) with those obtained by the classical Jaffé-reaction method. Run-to-run reproducibility (CV) was 3%, and the limit of detection was 1 mg/L.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
