False Elevation of Parathyroid Hormone in a Patient With Lung Metastasis of Rectal Cancer After Immunotherapy: A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]
Background Immunoassays are commonly used in clinical laboratories to measure a variety of analytes, including hormones and tumor markers. Interference caused by rheumatoid factor (RF), heterophile antibodies, and human anti‐animal antibodies (HAAA) has been reported but is rarely identified in daily practice.
