1 Reference Intervals Graham Jones / Gus Koerbin

2 Adult CRI - Harmonisation Harmonisation : (13 tests + 1 calculation) Harmonisation : Confirm 2012 recommendations. Discussed: albumin, globulin, AST & ALT (+/- P5P), GGT, bilirubin, Lipase (KC, GC). Aussie normal, Bias 2 study (GK) Harmonisation : summary of data used for decision making and between lab analytical differences (AoN, local and international). Flagging rates for common analytes on different systems raw data included (KS). IMPLEMENT! Next analytes: Albumin, globulin, bilirubin, GGT, lipase Harmonisation : ALT x 40 (M); X-35 (F) X=5? (Non-P5P) AST x -35 (M), x 30 (F) (Non P5P) X=5? Albumin: recommend age-related. Bilirubin: x-20 (labs to decide X) Data for CK, GGT, Lipase, Urea Harmonisation : Uptake of CRI (1 st set of analytes), baseline for 2 nd set of analytes) Next analytes: albumin, urea, TF, blood gases, FBC, Common intervals (GC) Harmonisation : Urea intervals recommended Discussion on: blood gases, iron studies

4 Paediatric CRI Harmonisation : proposed paediatric reference intervals (7 tests) Harmonisation : Confirmed 2012 recommendations. Harmonisation : common analytes data mining data available on line!! Age partitioning definitions (RF) Harmonisation : TFT (Caliper + manufacturers), Ammonia Harmonisation : Update (Tina Yen) sweat testing, ammonia, benchmarking, dynamic testing, AMH, neonatal bilirubin, egfr (Schwartz), new analytes

5 Pregnancy CRI Harmonisation : proposed pregnancy reference intervals (16 tests + 2 calculations) Harmonisation : Detailed data (Na, K, Cl, urea, creatinine, osmolality, AG, bicarbonate) (N Hadlow). Conclusions: Na ; Cl ; K (serum); urea ; creat Timing of gestation (Peter Ward) recommendations Rasied: urate, AG, bicarbonate, albumin, FBC, urine protein, urine albumin Harmonisation : Proposed intervals and flagging rates. Raw data available (KS) Harmonisation : TFT (Zhong Lu, Ken Sikaris) Harmonisation : (Zhong Lu, Ken Sikaris) Thyroid function testing in pregnancy (Dr Simon Forehan) Pregnancy RI review (Ken Sikaris); LIS issues (Tina yen) Publications Narelle Hadlow and Ken Sikaris. Aspects to consider in adopting pregnancy specific reference intervals. Clin Biochem Revs 2015;36: Alan McNeil and Phoebe Stanford. Reporting thyroid function tests in pregnancy.
