Background

The objective was to compare and validate creatinine measured by Nova StatSensor Creatinine meter against S.Creatinine measured by conventional enzymatic assay

Methods

Patients with renal dysfunction and age/sex matched healthy volunteers underwent Spot.creatinine measurement by Nova StatSensor Creatinine meter using capillary blood (finger prick) and Serum creatinine measurement by conventional enzymatic assay

Results

A total of 618 (320 patients and 298 healthy volunteers) were included in the study. The baseline characteristics were similar
Mean (±SD) Spot.Creatinine & S.Creatinine in the overall population was 1.9 (±1.9) & 1.8 (±1.8); 2.9 (± 2.2) & 2.8 (± 2.2) in patients; 0.86 (± 0.2) & 0.81 (± 0.2) in healthy volunteers
A Pearson coefficient depicted a positive linear correlation between Spot.Creatinine and S.Creatinine, r (df)= 1, p < 0.001.The sensitivity and specificity of Spot.Creatinine was 91.2% and 96% respectively; PPV and NPV of 94.5% and 93.6% and an accuracy of 94.1%

Conclusion

Spot.Creatinine measurement using StatSensor Creatinine meter with capillary blood is simple, rapid, reliable and provides a good estimate of creatinine

A positive, linear and strong relationship between Spot. Creatinine and S. Creatinine in patient population (r=0.89)

A positive, linear relationship of moderate strength between Spot. Creatinine and S.Creatinine in healthy population (r=0.66)
