Clin Chem Lab Med. 2025 Jun 17. doi: 10.1515/cclm-2025-0427. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: Cardiac troponins (cTn) are used to detect and quantify acute cardiomyocyte injury. In patients presenting with symptoms that could indicate myocarditis, elevated cTn concentrations typically mandate cardiac catheterization and heart muscle biopsy or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). Accordingly, increased … Read more

Clin Chem Lab Med. 2025 Aug 26. doi: 10.1515/cclm-2025-0615. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the diagnostic accuracy of the liver fibrosis marker FIB-4 and the likelihood ratios (LRs) of specific FIB-4 values vary with age. METHODS: We used a published dataset of 540 patients diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) … Read more
Clin Chem Lab Med. 2025 Aug 26. doi: 10.1515/cclm-2025-0818. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: The increasing adoption of point-of-care testing (POCT) in primary healthcare highlights the need for robust quality assurance (QA) procedures to ensure result reliability. The patient split sample approach, i.e. comparing POCT and central laboratory results from the same patient, can … Read more
Clin Chem Lab Med. 2025 Aug 25. doi: 10.1515/cclm-2025-0378. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-4 (IGFBP-4) fragments are reported as emerging biomarkers for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment. To ensure data reliability and improve clinical application, the first automatic chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) for NT-IGFBP-4 was developed and its distribution across … Read more
Clin Chem Lab Med. 2025 Aug 25. doi: 10.1515/cclm-2025-0743. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: Accurate quantification of aldosterone is critical for screening and diagnosing primary aldosteronism (PA). Current competitive chemiluminescence immunoassays (cCLIA) overestimate plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) compared to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). However, LC-MS/MS is technically demanding and time-consuming, limiting its widespread … Read more
Clin Chem Lab Med. 2025 Aug 25. doi: 10.1515/cclm-2025-0870. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a well-established biomarker of astrocytic activation associated with neurodegenerative diseases, neuroinflammatory disorders, and traumatic brain injury. With increasing interest in blood-based biomarkers, the need for analytically validated assays and reliable reference intervals is critical … Read more
