Laboratory diagnostics in acute poisoning: critical overview Rentsch KMClin Chem Lab Med 2010[Oct]; 48 (10): 1381-7Laboratory diagnostics play an important role in the treatment of patients with acute poisoning. The classical clinical chemistry and hematology tests help initiate supportive treatment, and specialized methods enable elucidation of the poisons involved. In this context, two different analytical approaches are used: the direct quantification of a potentially involved compound or screening procedures looking either for a distinct drug class or a wide variety of different compounds. The most common tests are immunoassays, which have the advantage of being fast and highly automated. These assays are available for the substances which are often involved in intoxications. The other analytical technique which is widely used is hyphenated chromatography consisting of either high-performance liquid chromatography or gas chromatography as chromatographic systems and detection with a diode-array or mass spectrometer. Whereas gas chromatography mass spectrometry screening procedures have been known for a long time, liquid chromatography mass spectrometry screening methods are now developed by different research groups and still need to prove their reliability. In this review, the different analytical technologies and their application will be discussed.|*Clinical Laboratory Techniques[MESH]|Acute Disease[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Poisoning/*diagnosis[MESH]|Sensitivity and Specificity[MESH] |
