Summary: Twenty eight clinical chemical blood parameters were studied with respect to intra-individual variations. Both short tenn variations, within one day and during one week, and long term variations, during a six months period, were investigated in groups of 62, 16 and 274 individuals. Moreover, critical differences were calculated from the total variations, i.e. physiological (personal) and analytical variations. The influences of external factors (sex, smoking, and oral contraceptives) were been studied.It was concluded that the use of laboratory data in clinical diagnosis is considerably improved when intra-individual variations and critical differences are used.
Kurz· und langzeitige intraindividuelle Änderungen sowie kritische Differenzen klinisch-chemischer KenngrößenZusammenfassung: Die intraindividuellen Änderungen von 28 klinisch-chemisch bestimmten Blutbestandteilen wurden untersucht. In Gruppen von 62,16 und 274 Probanden wurden sowohl kurzzeitige Änderungen innerhalb eines Tages und während einer Woche als auch langzeitige Änderungen während eines halben Jahres verfolgt. Zusätzlich.wurden aus den Gesamt-Änderungen, d.h. physiologischen (individuellen) und analytischen Variationen, kritische Differenzen berechnet. Weiterhin wurden äußere Einflüsse wie Geschlecht, Rauchen und Einnahme oraler Kontraceptiva untersucht.Aus den Ergebnissen wird geschlossen, daß die Verwendung von Labordaten in der klinischen Diagnostik wesentlich verbessert wird, wenn intraindividuelle Variationen und kritische Differenzen benutzt werden.
Summary:The complete blood cell count and the differential leukocyte count have been studied for their variations within-one-day and during one weck (short-term variations) and during a period of six months (long-term variations) with an automatic haematology analyser (H-6000, Technicon®), in which some new Parameters (large unstained cells, high peroxidase cells, red cell distribution width, platelet distribution width, mean platelet volume, plateletcrit) are included. The influence of external factors such äs sex-differences, smoking/non-smoking, üse of oral contraceptives etc. have also been studied. It appears that the use of critical differences together with haematological data improves the value of these parameters in diagnosis and treatment of patients. Laboratoriumskenngrößen.

We investigated the analytical performance and imprecision of three commercially available nephelometers for the quantification of various proteins in pooled serum and cerebrospinal fluid. Albumin, transferrin, IgG, IgA, and IgM in serum were determined nephelometrically (BNA, Behring; Array, Beckman) and turbidimetrically (Cobas Bio, Hoffmann-La Roche). All these proteins in cerebrospinal fluid except transferrin were determined nephelometrically with all three systems. CVs and lower limits of detection were compared for all instruments, and stability of calibration curves was evaluated.
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.
