In Vitro Demonstration of Drug-Reagent Interactions Among Commonly Used Parenteral Drugs in Cardiology.

CONCLUSION: Parenteral drugs used in cardiology can significantly interfere with troponin I, CK-MB mass, Nt-proBNP, and D-dimer tests in the analytical phase because of drug-reagent interactions. Minimal deviations in the CK, AST, and LDH tests were observed using spectrophotometric methods. Thus, changes in test results may be due to drug interference rather than the treatment itself. Clinicians should consider the possibility of drug interference in cases of doubtful cardiac test results that do not comply with the diagnosis. PMID: 32101135 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
