Performance of StatSensor Point-of-Care Device for Measuring Creatinine in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease and Postkidney Transplantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The StatSensor is a point-of-care device which measures creatinine in capillary whole blood. Previous studies reported an underestimation of the creatinine measurements at high creatinine concentrations and were performed in the prestandardization era for creatinine.

Objective

This accuracy-based study evaluates the use of this device in kidney-transplanted patients and those with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Design

Cross-sectional diagnostic accuracy study.

Setting

Nephrology outpatient clinic in an urban tertiary center.

Participants

Adults with CKD or a functioning kidney transplant.

Measurements

Duplicate StatSensor creatinine measurements were performed on capillary whole blood samples collected by direct fingerstick and SAFE-T-FI
