89577-1
LaboratoryTroponin I.cardiac panel - Serum or Plasma by High sensitivity method
Definition
The "high sensitivity" troponin assays manufactured by different vendors have different analytical characteristics, including the limit of detection and 99% upper reference limit. The quantitative results from different assays should not be compared to make clinical decisions, and reporting the quantitative result in isolation is not recommended. The troponin high sensitivity quantitative results should be reported with analytic information about the assay and/or the interpretation, depending on the specific reporting method used in a given laboratory or hospital, that are included in this panel.
