Haemolysis: an overview of the leading cause of unsuitable specimens in clinical laboratories.
Giuseppe Lippi,Norbert Blanckaert,Pierangelo Bonini,Sol Green,Steve Kitchen,Vladimir Palicka,Anne Vassault,Mario Plebani +7 more
TL;DR: This article focuses on the issue of laboratory errors, providing an overview on prevalence and leading causes of in vivo and in vitro haemolysis, and tentative guidelines on identification and management ofHaemolytic samples in clinical laboratories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of bilirubin and bilirubin mono- and di-conjugates. Determination of their relative amounts in biological samples.
TL;DR: With this new method, virtually all bilinoids in normal rat bile have been found to be conjugated, with diconjugates predominating.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Advanced statistical analysis of a panel of six selected plasma biomarkers on samples obtained during the secretory phase or during menstruation allows the diagnosis of both minimal-mild and moderate-severe endometriosis with high sensitivity and clinically acceptable specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unconjugated Bilirubin and an Increased Proportion of Bilirubin Monoconjugates in the Bile of Patients with Gilbert's Syndrome and Crigler-Najjar Disease
TL;DR: The present findings suggest that Crigler-Najjar disease represents a more pronounced expression than Gilbert's syndrome of a common biochemical defect.
Journal ArticleDOI
