Optimizing d-mannose and glyceraldehyde concentrations as glucose preservatives without clinically affecting biochemical test results

Objectives: The objectives were to evaluate blood additives that combined lithium heparin (LH)-salt with glyceraldehyde (GLY) or d-mannose (MAN) for preserving glucose levels in plasma samples and to simultaneously determine the compatibility of these additives with 14 other biochemical tests.

description Objectives: The objectives were to evaluate blood additives that combined lithium heparin (LH)-salt with glyceraldehyde (GLY) or d-mannose (MAN) for preserving glucose levels in plasma samples and to simultaneously determine the compatibility of these additives with 14 other biochemical tests. Methods: Blood samples from 40 subjects, equally divided into healthy and diabetic groups, were collected using five different additives. The three most effective additives, LH/GLY, LH/MAN, and LH/GLY/MAN, were selected for ensuring the best preservation of glucose levels and compatibility with 14 biochemical tests. One-way analysis of variance was used to analyze the mean paired differences of glucose level and biochemical tests. Simultaneously, the clinical criteria from Johns Hopkins Hospital were used to guide the interpretation and set acceptable thresholds for measurements that exceeded the standards. Results: The combination of 160 mmol/L GLY, 8.4 mmol/L MAN, and LH, maintained glucose levels at approximately 93.4–93.7 % for healthy subjects and 91.3–92.8% for subjects with diabetes mellitus over 8 h. The mean paired differences of glucose levels in preservation were statistically insignificant. The biases in 14 biochemical tests for LH/GLY/MAN and LH/MAN remained within the acceptable clinical criteria during the 8 h. Conclusions: Combining 160 mmol/L GLY, 8.4 mmol/L MAN, and LH, proved more effective in maintaining glucose levels than individual additives or the conventional sodium fluoride preservative. It did not yield clinical discrepancies in the 14 biochemical tests during 8 h at room temperature.
