According to a study by Ho et al. (2021b), there is a good correlation between the hemolysis, icterus, and lipemic (HIL) index values and the corresponding concentrations of hemoglobin, bilirubin, and intralipid in the concentration of interferences tested. Moreover, using the alinity c system by abbott company, it was stated that 12 of 35 chemistry assays were affected by hemolysis while bilirubin interfered with 4 assays and intralipid interfered with 3 assays.
Will there be any difference on the effects of HIL interferences using different spectrophotometric chemistry analyzers by different brands?
