A candidate reference method and multiple commutable control materials for serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D measurement.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of the current study was to establish a reliable candidate reference method for serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] measurement and to assess the commutability of multiple control materials among liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods.

Methods

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 [25(OH)D2] and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] together with spiked internal standards were extracted with a one-step approach and then analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The commutability assessment for 25(OH)D was conducted according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) EP14-A3 protocol. 25(OH)D concentrations in 5 levels of unprocessed serum pools, 7 levels of serum pools spiked with 25(OH)D3 or 25(OH)D2, 3 levels of commercial control materials, 2 levels of spiked bovine serum, and 4 levels of external quality assessment (EQA) materials were measured along with 30 single-donor samples using the candidate reference method and two routine LC-MS/MS methods.

Results

The candidate reference method could separate 25(OH)D2 and 25(OH)D3 from 14 potential interfering compounds completely within a 9-min analysis time. Good method precision was obtained, and measurement results on certified reference material NIST SRM 972a were within the uncertainty of the certified values. All candidate materials were assessed commutable for LC-MS/MS methods.

Conclusions

The candidate reference method for serum 25(OH)D measurement is precise, accurate, and robust against interferences and can provide an accuracy base for routine methods. The multiple alternative control materials with commutability among LC-MS/MS methods will facilitate the further standardization for serum 25(OH)D measurement.

Project description:The inaccuracy of routine serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D measurements hampers the interpretation of data in patient care and public health research. We developed and validated a candidate reference measurement procedure (RMP) for highly accurate quantitation of two clinically important 25-hydroxyvitamin D metabolites in serum, 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 [25(OH)D2] and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3]. The two compounds of interest together with spiked deuterium-labeled internal standards [d 3-25(OH)D2 and d 6-25(OH)D3] were extracted from serum via liquid-liquid extraction. The featured isotope-dilution LC-MS/MS method used reversed-phase chromatography and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization in positive ion mode. A pentafluorophenylpropyl-packed UHPLC column together with isocratic elution allowed for complete baseline resolution of 25(OH)D2 and 25(OH)D3 from their structural C-3 isomers within 12 min. We evaluated method trueness, precision, potential interferences, matrix effects, limits of quantitation, and measurement uncertainty. Calibration materials were, or were traceable to, NIST Standard Reference Materials 2972. Within-day and total imprecision (CV) averaged 1.9 and 2.0% for 25(OH)D3, respectively, and 2.4 and 3.5% for 25(OH)D2, respectively. Mean trueness was 100.3% for 25(OH)D3 and 25(OH)D2. The limits of quantitation/limits of detection were 4.61/1.38 nmol/L for 25(OH)D3 and 1.46/0.13 nmol/L for 25(OH)D2. When we compared our RMP results to an established RMP using 40 serum samples, we found a nonsignificant mean bias of 0.2% for total 25(OH)D. This candidate RMP for 25(OH)D metabolites meets predefined method performance specifications (≤5% total CV and ≤1.7% bias) and provides sufficient sample throughput to meet the needs of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Vitamin D Standardization Certification Program.

Project description:ObjectiveWe aimed to describe the 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) status of southern Chinese individuals by a high-accuracy liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method which can trace to reference measurement procedure.Materials and methodsFrom January 2018 to June 2019, a total of 4775 southern Chinese individuals were evaluated in our study. The serum levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) were detected simultaneously in 162 cases. 25(OH)D was determined by LC-MS/MS, and PTH was detected using routine automated analysers. The distribution of the concentration, prevalence and seasonal variability of 25(OH)D in males and females of different age groups were studied.ResultsThe mean 25(OH)D concentration in our study was 32.57 ng/mL (4.20-101.40 ng/mL). The global 25(OH)D concentration in males was higher than that in females of different age group. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (< 20 ng/mL) in females (16.65%) was higher than that in males (6.83%). The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (< 20 ng/mL) was most common in winter (22.98% of all women and 15.49% of all men). 25(OH)D concentrations were higher in those from whom blood samples were collected in summer and autumn than in winter and spring. 25(OH)D2 was detected in 672 serum samples (14.07%). In addition, there was a negative correlation between the concentrations of 25(OH)D and serum PTH (r = - 0.149, P < 0.05).ConclusionOur study demonstrated that the average serum 25(OH)D concentration in southern Chinese individuals was higher than that in other Chinese cohorts by a high-accuracy LC-MS/MS method. The global 25(OH)D concentration in males was higher than that in females of different ages, and the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in females was higher than that in males. Seasonal change was an important aspect of 25(OH)D concentration in young and middle-aged people but became less relevant for that in older subjects. 25(OH)D2 detection was of minor practical significance in our study. In addition, we also found that there was a negative correlation between the serum levels of 25(OH)D and PTH in southern Chinese individuals.
