Reference Intervals denote normative values related to laboratory parameters/analytes used by diagnostic centers for clinical
diagnosis. International guidelines recommend that every country must establish reference intervals for healthy individuals
belonging to a group of homogeneous population. Considering enormous racial and ethnic diversity of Indian population, it
is mandatory to establish reference intervals specific to Indian population. The overview on reference interval describes
why the national organizations in India need to initiate nationwide efforts to establish its own laboratory standards for
apparently healthy reference individuals belonging to our polygenetic, polyethnic, polyracial, multilinguistic and multicultural
predominantly rural and appreciable urban Indian population with varied dietary habits. 相似文献

Hyperhomocysteinemia has been shown to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease as well as retinal vascular occlusion. Because of the epidemiological, dietary, genetic and environmental diversity among the different countries, each country should establish the reference interval of homocysteine of their own population for recommending appropriate medical decision limits. Hence a total of 1,288 apparently healthy subjects including 636 male and 652 female were enrolled in the present study to determine the reference intervals of homocysteine in an Indian population. Results of the study were presented as mean, standard deviation, median and 2.5th and 97.5th percentile with the 0.90 confidence interval of each percentile values of homocysteine along with decade-wise changes. 相似文献

Dyslipidaemia is a major CVD risk factor in the general population. Current evidence suggests that lipid metabolism is altered in RA due to inflammation, and that use of anti-inflammatory therapy may reverse some of these changes. The objective of our study is to compare the effect of treatment with DMARD on lipid fractions after 6 months of therapy. Forty patients who met the American College of Rheumatology, ACR/EULAR criteria for rheumatoid arthritis, with disease duration of less than 1 year and no prior treatment were included in the study. Thirty healthy volunteers were included as controls. The mean DAS-28 at disease onset was 5.15 ± 1.3. Early Rheumatoid Arthritis (ERA) patients exhibited higher serum levels of total cholesterol (TC) and lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and lower serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels compared to controls. As a consequence, the atherogenic index of plasma [log (TG/HDL-C)], the atherogenic indices: TC/HDL-C as well as LDLC/HDL-C was significantly higher in ERA patients compared to controls. After 6 months of treatment, there was significant reduction of the DAS 28, HDL-C and Apo A-I improved and Lp(a) decreased significantly. All lipid ratios improved, a phenomenon primarily due to the increase in serum HDL-C levels. These changes were inversely correlated with CRP and ESR. In conclusion, ERA patients are characterized by an atherogenic lipid profile, which improves with DMARD therapy. 相似文献

The current epidemic affecting Indians is coronary artery disease (CAD), and is currently one of the most common causes of mortality and morbidity in developed and developing countries. The higher rate of CAD in Indians, as compared to people of other ethnic origin, may indicate a possible genetic susceptibility. Hence, Lp(a), an independent genetic risk marker for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease assumes great importance. Lp(a), an atherogenic lipoprotein, contains a cholesterol rich LDL particle, one molecule of apolipoprotein B-100 and a unique protein, apolipoprotein (a) which distinguishes it from LDL. Apo(a) is highly polymorphic and an inverse relationship between Lp(a) concentration and apo(a) isoform size has been observed. This is genetically controlled suggesting a functional diversity among the apo(a) isoforms. The LPA gene codes for apo(a) whose genetic heterogeneity is due to variations in its number of kringles. The exact pathogenic mechanism of Lp(a) is still not completely elucidated, but the structural homology of Lp(a) with LDL and plasmin is possibly responsible for its acting as a link between atherosclerosis and thrombosis. Upper limits of normal Lp(a) levels have not been defined for the Indian population. A cut off limit of 20 mg/dL has been suggested while for the Caucasian population it is 30 mg/dL. Though a variety of assays are available for its measurement, standardization of the analytical method is highly complicated as a majority of the methods are affected by the heterogeneity in apo(a) size. No therapeutic drug selectively targets Lp(a) but recently, new modifiers of apo(a) synthesis are being considered. 相似文献

Clinical reference intervals among Indian population are poorly defined. Therefore, there is an urgent need to establish local clinical laboratory reference intervals for healthy Indian population. The present study aimed to identify the 95 % reference interval for hematological and biochemical parameters in apparently healthy Indian population. We undertook a multicentric cross-sectional study conducted at Apollo Hospitals Educational and Research Foundation across India. Of which 10,665 reference individuals identified as healthy by physicians. The 95 % of the reference distribution was estimated using 2.5th and 97.5th percentile reference limits. The 95 % reference intervals for hemoglobin (Males: 12.3–17 g/dL; Females: 9.9–14.3 g/dL), platelet count (Males: 1.3–3.8; Females: 1.3–4.2 Lakhs/µL), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (Males: 2–22; Females: 4–55 mm/h), serum uric acid in males: 3.5–8.2 mg/dL, gamma glutamyl transferase (Males: 13–61 U/L), fasting blood glucose (Males: 78–110 mg/dL), total cholesterol (Males: 115–254 mg/dL), low density lipoprotein (Males: 60–176 mg/dL) and triglycerides (Males: 55–267 mg/dL, Females: 52–207 mg/dL) were different from currently used reference values. Additionally need for gender based partitioning were observed for triglycerides and gamma glutamyl transferase. The observed findings are of clinical significance and it needs to be validated with additional community based studies. 相似文献

In an attempt to search for risk factors which can explain the increasing prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD) in Indian
population, we conducted a case-control study to assess the association of Lipoprotein (a)(Lp(a)) with CHD. One hundred and
fifty one consecutive patients with clinical and angiographic evidence of CHD and forty-nine healthy controls were drawn for
the study. Triglycerides, very low density cholesterol (VLDL-C), total cholesterol (total-C)/high density cholesterol (HDL-C)
ratio, low density cholesterol (LDL-C)/HDL cholesterol ratio and Lp(a) were found to be higher in patients than controls.
In female sex and in those with family history of CHD, higher total and LDL cholesterol levels were observed to be associated
with higher Lp(a) levels. Lp(a) levels were also found to be higher in triple vessel disease than other vessel disease patients.
Significant difference in Lp(a) levels were observed between normal coronaries vs. single and triple vessel disease(P<0.05)
and also between single vs. double and triple vessel disease (P<0.01).Lp(a) levels correlated positively with vessel severity(P<0.005).
Lp(a) levels >25 mg/dl were associated with coronary heart disease (Odds ratio 1.98 P<0.05 95% CI 0.007–1.18). Our findings
suggest a cut-off level of 25mg/dl for determination of risk of CHD. Studies from different areas involving larger sample
size are needed to confirm the findings of the present study. 相似文献

The serum PSA is universally accepted as the useful and clinically relevant tumor marker for monitoring therapy and identifying
early recurrence in patients of carcinoma prostate throughout the world. However, application of serum PSA is limited to screening
for early adenocarcinoma prostate among males above fifty years of age.
Serum PSA concentration varies from one population to another in different parts of the world. Many groups of workers have
selected 4 ng/ml of serum PSA as upper limit of normal range without giving due consideration for age specific increase in
serum PSA. There is no single report available on normal decade wise age specific reference intervals for serum PSA in Indian
males.
The present study is undertaken to establish age specific reference intervals in healthy Indian males from 20–89 years belonging
to subpopulation of Andhra Pradesh from South India. Our results revealed lowest concentration of 95 percentile serum PSA
in Indian males compared to other populations globally. Contrary to this, healthy Afro Americans were found to have highest
concentration of serum PSA compared to all other populations. 相似文献

Coronary artery disease is now a major health problem in India. In past few decades the battle to reduce the incidence of
coronary artery disease has led the researchers to look for various clinical markers, which would help early diagnosis of
the diseases. The present study was undertaken to assess the level of lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] and few other lipids in selected
myocardial infarction (MI) patients below 45 years without having any traditional risk factors but with positive family history.
Fasting blood samples were taken from 65 patients and their total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol,
triglycerides and serum Lp(a) were determined. The control group consisted of 50 age matched healthy individuals. The mean
Lp(a) level was 58.6±3.20 mg/dl in patients and 19.70±0.18 mg/dl in controls. Thus Lp(a) levels were found significantly higher
in patients with MI (p<0.05 for patients versus control) as compared to the controls. There was no significant difference
in the levels of total cholesterol (TC), LDL, VLDL HDL, TGL as compared to controls but there was an increase in TC/HDL cholesterol
ratio. The results of this study suggest that high level of Lp(a) and TC/HDL ratio has a distinctive association with MI,
independent of other common coronary risk factors. Hence, Lp(a) level in serum emerges to be a promising marker for diagnosis
of coronary artery diseases. 相似文献

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are recognized as major mortality causes and imposes tremendously heavy socio-economic burden worldwide. A vast variety of risk factors have been introduced in the literature known to enhance the incidence of CVD, such as hyperlipidemia. Therefore in order to make an accurate clinical decision it is essential to have appropriate reference ranges for lipids and lipoprotein particles in a particular population. Healthy female (n = 601) and male (n = 617) cases were randomly selected according to certain exclusion criteria from individuals visiting the major University hospital clinics situated in different part of Ahvaz city, Iran, from June 2010 to December 2010. Fasting blood samples (10 ml) were collected and analyzed for total cholesterol, total triglyceride and HDL-C employing enzymatic assays of CHOD-PAP, GPO-PAP and homogenous methods respectively. The samples were obtained such to include the ethnic populations of Persian, Arab. Lore leaving in this city. The data were analyzed statistically by SPSS-18 software. The obtained results were analyzed then age ethnic-wise and reference ranges (mean ± 1SD) were calculated. Remarkable differences between the obtained results for our population with other nations were seen. Also ethnic difference for HDL-C among our cases was noted. The observed significant differences among different nations and ethnicities emphasizes the need for nation-specific, local reference ranges for lipids and lipoproteins particles, to be established. 相似文献

Reference intervals (RIs) of serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (fT4) were determined in 402 healthy pregnant women by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique after partitioning them into three trimesters. The reference population was chosen from a study population of 610 pregnant females by applying strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. The assays were done using proper quality control measures. RIs were calculated from the central 95 % of the distribution of TSH and fT4 values located between the lower reference limit of 2.5 percentile and upper reference limit of 97.5 percentile value 0.90 confidence intervals for the upper and lower reference limits were also determined. The reference intervals for TSH were 0.25–3.35 μIU/ml for the first trimester; 0.78–4.96 μIU/ml for the second trimester and 0.89–4.6 μIU/ml for the third trimester. Similarly, the reference intervals for fT4 for first, second and third trimesters were 0.64–2.0, 0.53–2.12 and 0.64–1.98 ng/dl respectively. The values thus obtained varied from those provided by the kit literature. In comparison to our derived reference intervals, the reference data from kit manufacturer under-diagnosed both subclinical hypo- and hyper-thyroidism within our pregnant reference population. 相似文献

Reliable and accurate reference intervals (RIs) for laboratory analyses are an integral part of the process of correct interpretation of clinical laboratory test results. RIs given in laboratory reports have an important role in aiding the clinician in interpreting test results in reference to values for healthy populations. Since the 1980s, the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) has been proactive in establishing recommendations to clarify the true significance of the term ‘RIs, to select the appropriate reference population and statistically analyse the data. The C28-A3 guideline published by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) and IFCC is still the most widely-used source of reference in this area. In recent years, protocols additional to the Guideline have been published by the IFCC, Committee on Reference Intervals and Decision Limits (C-RIDL), including all details of multicenter studies on RIs to meet the requirements in this area. Multicentric RIs studies are the most important development in the area of RIs. Recently, the C-RIDL has performed many multicentric studies to obtain common RIs. Confusion of RIs and clinical decision limits (CDLs) remains an issue and pediatric and geriatric age groups are a significant problem. For future studies of RIs, the genetic effect would seem to be the most challenging area.
The aim of the review is to present the current theory and practice of RIs, with special emphasis given to multicenter RIs studies, RIs studies for pediatric and geriatric age groups, clinical decision limits and partitioning by genetic effects on RIs.Key words: multicenter study, common reference intervals, reference values, clinical decision limits, genetic information 相似文献

Cystic fibrosis is a common autosomal recessive disorder usually found in population of white Caucasian descent. Now it is
well documented the presence of CF disease in India with the advancement of laboratory testing. As once it was thought non
existence of this disease in our population. Most of the phenotype of CF disease was in accordance of western population.
Genetic analysis of CFTR gene in Indian CF patients revealed that most common mutation was delta F508 mutation. However, it
was less than Caucasian population. CFTR mutations are also a causative factor in the pathogenesis of male infertility due
to obstructive azoospermia. There are two most common mutation viz. IVS8-T5 and delta F508 which are responsible for congenital
absence of vas deferens in male infertility patients. Elevated levels of sweat chloride at two occasions along with the presence
of two mutations in CFTR gene was gold standard method for diagnosis of CF disease. It is noteworthy here that due to magnitude
of Indian population, the total CF disease load would be more than many European countries. Clinical data demonstrate the
prevalence of both classical and genetic form of CF in India. 相似文献

Stroke is the third leading cause of death and foremost cause of disability. Based on studies in CAD patients, a focus has
been shifted on genetic and inflammatory markers as risk factors for stroke besides deranged lipid profile. The present study
was aimed to ascertain the role of Lipoprotein (a), C-Reactive protein (CRP) levels and lipids in patients of ischemic stroke.
The study was done in 82 subjects including 40 Computerized Tomography (CT) proven patients of ischemic stroke and 42 age
and sex matched controls. Complete biochemical parameters including lipid profile were carried out on autoanalyzer using standard
kits and reagents. Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] was determined by immunoturbidimetric assay. Atherogenic indices (Total cholesterol/
HDL, LDL/HDL and Lipid Tetrad Index) were calculated using these lipid parameters. The CRP levels were measured semi-quantitatively
by latex agglutination test method. Out of 40 stroke patients, 38 had abnormalities in lipid profile (As per ATP III guidelines).
A significant difference was seen in serum cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and atherogenic indices between the patients and controls.
The difference in CRP levels in cases and control subjects was highly significant (4.78±0.72 mg/dl vs 0.76 ±0.70, p<0.001).
96.5% of patients with raised CRP had abnormal lipid levels also. CRP levels in stroke patients showed significant correlation
with total cholesterol and LDL (p<0.001), Lp (a) (p=0.002) and atherogenic indices (p<0.05). Raised CRP levels in stroke patients
were significantly associated with large territory infarcts, severe disability and poor functional outcome (p<0.05).Genetic
[Lp(a)], metabolic (deranged Lipid profile) and inflammatory factors (CRP) together are instrumental in causing cerebrovascular
arteriosclerosis leading to ischaemic stroke and can be used as important markers to identify patients at risk of severe stroke
and to institute aggressive preventive strategies. 相似文献

Human urine gives evidence of the metabolism in the body and contains numerous organic acids and other compounds at a variety of concentration. The concentration of organic acids in urine varies from population to population due to genotype, food habits and other epigenetic and environmental influences. Knowledge of the reference values for urinary organic acids in a healthy pediatric population is very important for critical evaluation. This study was designed to quantify 16 organic acids in a healthy north Indian pediatric population. Early morning urine samples from healthy pediatric subjects of age 1 day to 16 years who did not have symptoms of any disease were analyzed for organic acid content. The children were not on any supplemental vitamins or drugs and were on a free and unrestricted diet. The creatinine concentration of each sample was determined before organic acid analysis. Organic acids were extracted from urine with ethyl acetate, extracted residue was air dried, converted into trimethylsilyl derivatives and analysed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Here we reported the age wise mean values and standard deviations for each compound, adjusted for creatinine content (mmol/mol of creatinine). We found the concentration of most of the metabolites are higher in our population in comparison to other populations. Such data may help to provide a basis for diagnosing metabolic abnormalities in patients in a specific ethnicity. 相似文献

The central role of the laboratory scientist is to aid the clinician, in interpreting observed values, by providing relevant
reference values in a convenient and practical form. In India, reference values used in laboratories have been established
in the western population. But these can be questioned due to differences in genetic load, lifestyle, and diet. This review
highlights the approach for establishing reference values in our population using the IFCC guidelines and our observations
from our data as compared to the reported values in our laboratory. 相似文献

Malabsorption syndromes causing steatorrhoea are quite common in India. Estimation of faecal fat is an important non-invasive
investigation, which provides vital information regarding the occurrence of malabsorption. The aim of this study was to estimate
the fat excretion per day in stools of apparently healthy adults on an unrestricted diet in random spot stool samples using
the Acid Steatocrit Method, which provides an alternate, simpler and yet reliable method of stool fat estimation. Several
studies have proved the correlation of the acid steatocrit method with the conventional methods. In India, however, there
has been no published data regarding the normal levels of fat in the stools, by the acid steatocrit method. We follow the
normal range values, as set by the United States and the European countries, not having a range for the Indian population.
Hence, we took up a preliminary study, to estimate stool fat in a section of normal and healthy Indian population. The result
obtained after screening 600 healthy and normal adults, showed the mean of stool fat to be 8.72 gms/24 hours, which is much
higher than that, defined by Western literature (7 gms/24 hours). This can be accounted for, by the cultural and ethnic variations
in dietary and food habits. Further studies are required in the same direction, involving larger population groups, and in
different malabsorptive conditions. 相似文献

To elucidate a higher rate of premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Asian Indian descendants (Roma) in Slovakia, we investigated frequency distribution, correlates and relationship of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] to family CVD risk factors in Roma children and their Caucasian neighbors. The study sample consisted of 607 healthy children aged 7–18 years (55% Roma, 48% male) as part of the biracial (Roma–Caucasian) Slovak Lipid Community Study. Overall, frequency distribution data of Lp(a) were highly skewed to low concentrations, with markedly higher Lp(a) levels in Roma than in Caucasian children (median and range, mg/dL: 14.5; 0–159.2 vs 6.2; 0–112.3, P < 0.001), regardless of age and gender. Lp(a) was positively correlated with apo B (0.159, P = 0.004) in Roma, and LDL cholesterol (0.170, P = 0.005) in Caucasian children. In addition, daily income of the family was negatively related with Lp(a) in Roma (−0.134, P = 0.036) while positively in Caucasians (0.136, P = 0.047). For both race groups, no significant association was found between Lp(a) and age, body mass index, mean arterial pressure, smoking, and physical activity. Also, no significant relationships were examined between serum Lp(a) levels >30 mg/dL in children and family CVD risk factors, except for diabetes mellitus in parents of Caucasian origin (OR 4.46; 95%CI: 1.23–16.20). In a multivariate analysis, daily income, LDL cholesterol or apo B explained ~7% of the variance of Lp(a). This study suggests a significantly higher serum Lp(a) levels in Roma than in Caucasian children and a small effect, in general, of relevant CVD risk factors on the variation of Lp(a) levels in childhood. 相似文献

Stroke is the third major cause of death worldwide. Elevated plasma concentration of low density lipoproteins and low plasma concentration of high density lipoprotein concentration are associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease but the relation between serum lipids, and cerebrovascular disease is less clear. The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability and accuracy of serum lipid profile in assessing the prognosis/neurological worsening in patients with ischemic and hemorrhagic cerebrovascular stroke. The subjects in the present study comprised of 101 healthy controls and 150 cerebrovascular stroke patients (including 90 with ischemic stroke and 60 with intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke). In both the groups fasting lipid profile was determined within 72 h of the stroke. A statistically significant association was observed (p < 0.001) between the parameters of lipid profile of cases and healthy controls, and also with the prognosis of the stroke. 相似文献

Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular risk factor. Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], inflammation, oxidative stress and chronic kidney disease (CKD) exacerbate the response to tissue injury and acts as markers of the vascular disease, especially in glomerulosclerosis. We compared the clinical characteristics of 138 non-diabetes hypertensive women (ndHT) patients with 417 non-diabetes normotensive subjects and tested the association of hypertension with Lp(a), inflammation, CKD and oxidative stress by using multiple logistic regression. BP, BMI, waist circumference, creatinine, Lp(a), inflammation and malondialdehyde levels were significantly higher and CKD state in the ndHT patients (p < 0.05). Multiple logistic regression showed hypertension associated with increased Lp(a), inflammation, ORs and 95 % CIs were 2.52 (1.33, 4.80), 2.75 (1.44, 5.27) after adjusting for their covariates. Elevated serum Lp(a) and inflammation levels concomitants with increased oxidative stress and CKD were the major risk factors associated with hypertension and implications for the increased risk of HT and vascular disease. 相似文献

The present study was carried out to explore the altered lipid, lipoprotein and apoprotein abnormalities along with lipoprotein
(a) in chronic kidney disease patients with stage I to V which were further divided into group 1 (stage I and II), group 2
(stage III and IV) and group 3 (stage V). 50 chronic kidney disease patients with stage I to V and 20 healthy normal subjects
as controls were recruited for this study. Among the various parameters tested triglyceride levels were high in group 1 and
2, whereas VLDL cholesterol, Lp (a) and apo B levels were significantly high in all the groups when compared to controls (P<0.05).
However, LDL cholesterol level was significantly low in group 3 only as compared to control group (P<0.05). Apoprotein AI
values also showed significant decrease in all groups as compared to controls (P<0.05). Though total cholesterol levels in
group 1 and LDL levels in group 1 and 2 were higher than controls, but the values attained not statistically significant (P>0.05).
In conclusion high levels of VLDL cholesterol, Lp (a), apo B and low levels of apoprotein AI as reported in this study are
the major lipid disorders in the development of cardiovascular complications at all the stages in these patients. 相似文献
