    Description

    ABX PENTRA Enzymatic Creatinine CP ref. A11A01907 reagent is intended for the quantitative in vitro diagnostic determination of creatinine in human serum, plasma and urine based on an enzymatic method of using a multi-step approach ending with a photometric end-point reaction.

    Reason

    N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) present in the blood of patients treated for paracetamol overdose can interfere with the Trinder reaction that uses hydrogen peroxide catalytic on aminoantipyrine and phenol, and can produce falsely low results with the reagents using the Trinder reaction method.
