Abstract

The interest in the clinical importance of serum magnesium level has just recently begun with the analysis and findings of abnormal magnesium level in cardiovascular, metabolic and neuromuscular disorder. Although the serum level does not reflect the body magnesium level, but currently, only serum magnesium determination is widely used. Erythrocyte magnesium is considered more sensitive than serum magnesium as it reflects intracellular magnesium status. According to NCCLS (National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards) every laboratory is recommended to have its own reference range for the tests it performs, including magnesium determination. The reference range obtained is appropriate for the population and affected by the method and technique. This study aimed to find the reference range of serum and plasma magnesium and also intracellular magnesium i.e. erythrocyte magnesium by direct method, and compare the results of serum and plasma magnesium. Blood was taken from 114-blood donor from Unit Transfusi Darah Daerah (UTDD) Budhyarto Palang Merah Indonesia (PMI) DKI Jakarta, consisted of 57 male and 57 female, aged 17 – 65 years, clinically healthy according to PMI donor criteria. Blood was taken from blood set, collected into 4 ml vacuum tube without anticoagulant for serum magnesium determination and 3 ml vacuum tube with lithium heparin for determination of erythrocyte and plasma magnesium Determination of magnesium level was performed with clinical chemistry auto analyzer Hitachi 912 by Xylidil Blue method colorimetrically. This study showed no significant difference between serum and heparinized plasma extra cellular magnesium. The reference range for serum or plasma magnesium was 1.30 – 2.00 mEq/L and for erythrocyte magnesium was 4.46 - 7.10 mEq/L.

Abstract

Iron in plasma is carried by transferrin delivered to cells through the interaction with a specific membrane receptor, namelytransferrin receptor. The soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) is a transferrin receptor monomer which lost its first 100 amino acids, andcirculates in the form of transferrin and its receptor complex. Erythroblasts and reticulocytes are the main source of serum TfR Theconcentration of sTfR in serum is useful to diagnose iron deficiency, especially for patient with chronic disease. A new parameter sTfRis reported to be a surrogate marker of bone marrow iron store. The sTfR concentration can describe the functional iron status whileferritin reflects the iron storage status. The aim of this study was to know a reference interval of sTfR in normal adults by provision.Subjects were 157 healthy adults from clinical medical check up who had met the inclusion criteria and were willing to participate asresearch subjects. Soluble Transferrin Receptor (sTfR) examination was performed using reagents from Roche. The statistical calculationswere performed by SPSS 22. The results showed that there was no significant difference between sTfR levels in men and women as wellas in the age group ≤40 years and >40 years. The STfR reference value in this study was calculated based on 95% CI (X±2SD), is0.197–0.598 mg/dL. It can be concluded that the sTfR reference value is 0.197–0.598 mg/dL.
