ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), the sulfate ester of dehydroepiandrosterone, is one of the most common steroid hormones in the human body and the precursor of several other androgens. It is primarily used as a diagnostic or prognostic indicator in adrenal and … Read more

From conventional to personalized reference intervals and decision limits: addressing latent errors in the post-post analytical phaseAbdurrahman Coskunon November 27, 2025 at 11:00 am

by

Clin Chem Lab Med. 2025 Nov 28. doi: 10.1515/cclm-2025-1338. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Laboratory errors are an important component of medical errors and are predominantly associated with the extra-analytical phases of the total testing process, particularly the pre-pre-analytical and post-post-analytical phases, which are largely dependent on clinical activities but also require laboratory support. The … Read more
