Factors influencing normal reference intervals for creatinine, urea, and electrolytes in plasma, as measured with a Beckman Astra 8 Analyzer

RS Rodger, MF Laker, K Fletcher, TF White, A Heaton, MK Ward and DN Kerr

In a study of 514 healthy adults, we used a Beckman Astra 8 Analyzer to establish normal reference intervals for plasma creatinine, urea, and electrolytes. For potassium and chloride these were considerably lower and higher, respectively, than previously reported ranges. All of these analytes showed significant sex-related differences; all except chloride showed age-related changes. The relationship of these biochemical indices to fasting, cigarette smoking, alcohol intake, regular exercise, and the contraceptive pill--independent of these age- and sex-related differences--was assessed by multiple linear regression. The effect was significant in each case. Our results underline the importance of regular review of reference values.
