Intended Use
For professional in vitro diagnostic use only.
Clinical Significance
Prealbumin is an acute phase protein. PAL transports thyroxin and forms complexes with retinol-binding protein/retinol complex, stabilising it and preventing renal loss. Increased levels are found in prednisone therapy and glomerular and tubular proteinuria. Decreased levels are found in severe liver diseases, malnutrition, congenital deficiencies, parturition and large doses of salicylates.
Test Principle
Measurement of antigen-antibody reaction by the end-point method.
Stability & Storage
The reagents are stable until expiry date when kept at 2-8°C. Stability in the instrument is at least 4 weeks if contamination is avoided. Do not freeze.
