INTRODUCTION: Icterus, if not detected, can affect the validity of results delivered by clinical laboratories, leading to erroneous results. This study aims to define bilirubin interference for some biochemical analytes and compare it with the manufacturer's data. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Serum pools prepared with outpatients' samples were spiked with increasing bilirubin concentration (Merck, reference14370, Darmstadt, Germany) up to 513 µmol/L in order to evaluate the bias for the following biochemical analytes: creatinine (CREA), creatine kinase (CK), cholesterol (CHOL), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), and total protein (TP)...
