Comparative Analysis of Four Matrix Dilution Methods for Eliminating IgM Paraprotein Interference in Prealbumin and Uric Acid Assays: Based on Two Case Reports

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
IgM paraproteins can cause significant interference in prealbumin (PA) and uric acid (UA) measurements, leading to falsely abnormal results. We systematically compared four dilution methods to eliminate this interference. Dilution with the PA reagent (containing PEG) effectively restored accurate PA results.
