Convenience of Hgb-O detected by optical method in XN-series hematology analyzers in evaluating hemoglobin concentration in samples with chylous turbidity.

ABSTRACT: The chylous turbidity of blood samples is one of the causes of false-high hemoglobin (Hgb) concentration measurements by the colorimetric method, which has been widely applied in hematology analyzers. In such cases, additional manual procedures are required to correct Hgb concentrations. We therefore examined the effectiveness of an optical method for measuring Hgb concentrations in samples with chylous turbidity using Hgb-O in the reticulocyte channel equipped in XN-series analyzers (Sysmex, Kobe, Japan). Hgb-O showed excellent basic performance, including linear correlation and invariability with sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)-Hgb detected by the colorimetric method. In the analysis of samples from healthy volunteers supplemented with fat emulsion, chylous turbidity did not affect Hgb-O but SLS-Hgb, which was falsely increased according to the dose of fat emulsion. Actually, SLS-Hgb was falsely elevated in 34 of 40 chylous turbidity 3+ samples. The remaining 6 samples were measured in hematology analyzers where Hgb-O was inconsistent with SLS-Hgb in the internal quality control records. For these samples, the correction factors calculated from the internal quality control records could contribute to providing the corrected Hgb-O value. These findings suggested that the optical method was effective and convenient for accurately evaluating Hgb concentrations in samples with extremely chylous turbidity.

Project description:Background Cell population data (CPD) parameters related to neutrophils, such as fluorescent light intensity (NE-SFL) and fluorescent light distribution width index (NE-WY), have emerged as potential biomarkers for sepsis. However, the diagnostic implication in acute bacterial infection remains unclear. This study assessed the diagnostic value of NE-WY and NE-SFL for bacteremia in patients with acute bacterial infections, and those associations with other sepsis biomarkers. Methods Patients with acute bacterial infections were enrolled in this prospective observational cohort study. For all patients, a blood sample, with at least two sets of blood cultures, were collected at the onset of infection. Microbiological evaluation included examination of the blood bacterial load using PCR. CPD was assessed using Automated Hematology analyzer Sysmex series XN-2000. Serum levels of procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin-6 (IL-6), presepsin, and CRP were also assessed. Results Of 93 patients with acute bacterial infection, 24 developed culture-proven bacteremia and 69 did not. NE-SFL and NE-WY were significantly higher in patients with bacteremia than in those without bacteremia (p < 0.005, respectively), and were significantly correlated with the bacterial load determined by PCR (r = 0.384 and r = 0.374, p < 0.005, respectively). To assess the diagnostic value for bacteremia, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used. NE-SFL and NE-WY showed an area under the curve of 0.685 and 0.708, respectively, while those of PCT, IL-6, presepsin, and CRP were 0.744, 0.778, 0.685, and 0.528, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that the levels of NE-WY and NE-SFL were strongly correlated with PCT and IL-6 levels. Conclusion This study demonstrated that NE-WY and NE-SFL could predict bacteremia in a manner that may be different from that of other indicators. These findings suggest there are potential benefits of NE-WY/NE-SFL in predicting severe bacterial infections.

Project description:BackgroundThe Sysmex XN-V is derived from the new Sysmex XN series of human hematology analyzers. The main changes from the previously validated XT-2000iV analyzer include an optic-fluorescent analysis for platelets and nucleated RBC count.ObjectiveWe aimed to validate the Sysmex XN-V for canine blood according to American College for Veterinary Clinical Pathology and International Council for Standardization in Hematology recommendations.Materials and methodsCanine EDTA blood specimens and quality control material were analyzed on the Sysmex XN-V to evaluate imprecision, bias, linearity, a comparison with the XT-2000iV analyzer, interference effects, carry-over, and stability. We also verified previously established Sysmex XT-2000iV reference intervals (RIs).ResultsImprecision and bias were low (<5%) for most variables. Observed total error was lower than allowable total error for most measured variables except lymphocytes and monocytes. Visually determined linearity was excellent for all variables, except for lymphocytes. The correlation between the XN-V and XT-2000iV analyzers was high (>0.93) for all variables except MCHC and reticulocyte indices. Correlations between the Sysmex XN-V and manual differential counts were good for neutrophils and eosinophils, acceptable for lymphocytes, and fair for monocytes. Hemolysis, lipemia, and to a lesser extent icterus, had significant effects on measured hemoglobin concentration and associated variables. Carry-over was not visually observed for any variable. Changes in the Sysmex XN-V measurements after storage at 4℃ and 24℃ were similar to those described for the Sysmex XT-2000iV analyzer. The previously established Sysmex XT-2000iV RIs can be used to interpret results from the Sysmex XN-V analyzer for most variables except red blood cell distribution width and mean platelet volume.ConclusionsThe performance of the Sysmex XN-V analyzer was excellent and compared favorably with the Sysmex XT-2000iV analyzer.
