Communication between pathology laboratories and clients involves more than just a result. There may be advice on recommended specimen type as well as the units and reference intervals used to report results. Between-laboratory variability in these factors has the potential to cause unnecessary confusion and even to lead to variation in interpretation for samples sent to different laboratories. A survey of Australian and New Zealand laboratories covering sample recommendations, specimens received, units and reference intervals for urine albumin and urine protein was conducted through the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia Quality Assurance Program (RCPA QAP). The results confirm earlier findings of wide between-laboratory variability in all these factors. It is proposed that only recommendations developed by relevant professional societies and adopted by all laboratories can lead to reduction in this variability.
病理实验室与客户之间的沟通不仅仅涉及结果。可能还会有关于推荐标本类型的建议,以及用于报告结果的单位和参考区间。这些因素在不同实验室之间的差异有可能导致不必要的混淆,甚至会导致送往不同实验室的样本在解读上出现差异。通过澳大利亚皇家病理学家学院质量保证计划(RCPA QAP),对澳大利亚和新西兰的实验室进行了一项调查,内容涵盖尿液白蛋白和尿蛋白的样本推荐、收到的标本、单位和参考区间。结果证实了早期研究发现,即所有这些因素在不同实验室之间存在很大差异。建议只有相关专业协会制定并被所有实验室采用的建议,才能减少这种差异。
