Ask your clinician to specify whole blood, RBC, plasma, or intracellular method. Preanalytic handling is critical.
The test method and how the sample is protected after collection can affect this number.
This ratio is useful only when both measurements were made using a reliable paired method.
RBC, plasma, and cellular assays are not interchangeable.
The method can change the result; ask what clinical question the test is meant to answer and whether a repeat would help.
Urine/plasma method, creatinine correction, collection timing, and assay matter.
Urine/plasma and mass-spec/immunoassay results are not interchangeable.
