Anmerkungen | Most manufacturers now include Haemolytic / Icteric / Lipaemic (HIL) Indices as part of their testing repertoire as a means of identifying these interfering parameters. The three major sample interferences found to affect the accuracy and reliability of most laboratory results are haemoglobin, lipaemia and Icterus. The aim of the Weqas HIL Serum Indices programme is to assess: the ability of the analysers HIL indices test to identify the presence of these potential interference, to determine how laboratories deal with results where indices suggest that interferences are present and to promote the harmonisation of reporting. The programme provides 3 monthly samples containing either no interferant, bilirubin, haemoglobin, intralipid (surrogate marker of turbidity) or a mix of interferants at a range of concentrations. A batch is prepared every 6 months consisting of 14 serum pools: 3 haemolysed, 3 icteric, 3 intralipid, 4 mixed and 1 negative. A total of 18 samples are dispatched every 6 months, with some pools dispatched on more than one occasion. The target value is assigned from the calculated gravimetric addition of the interferant, supported by the quantitative analysis of bilirubin, haemoglobin and triglyceride (as an approximate verification of the concentration of intralipid). Both semi-quantitative and qualitative results are accommodated. Key Features: - Liquid stable samples are supplied ready to use; no pre-analytical preparation is required. - Quantitative and qualitative reporting available. - Full range of HIL indices covered; samples with individual and combined indices distributed to assess potential interferences.
