The evaluation of two assays of erythropietin allows a comparison with the IRMA coated kit Epo Coatria (Biomérieux). The aim of this work is to present the results obtained in two groups of patients, with the chemiluminescence method (Advantage® automate) and with the ELISA Quantikine IVD kit in comparison with the IRMA (Biomérieux) coated assay, which is the reference method of the laboratory.
... [Show full abstract] The statistic tests show an important overlap between the reference group values and those of the polycytemia group (p = 0,45) with the chemiluminescence test. The correlation between ELISA and IRMA methods is quite good (r2 = 0,714) and allows us to ensure the transfer of our results, especially in the case of polycytemia vera.
