Radioimmunoassay techniques for the detection of serum acid phosphatase are reported to provide substantial improvement in test sensitivity and test specificity. Calculation of the positive predictive value for this assay, however, does not support its use as a screening modality. Indiscriminate use of this test may have serious medical, psychological, and economic ramifications.
据报道,用于检测血清酸性磷酸酶的放射免疫分析技术在检测灵敏度和特异性方面有显著提高。然而,该检测方法阳性预测值的计算结果并不支持将其用作筛查手段。滥用此检测可能会产生严重的医学、心理和经济后果。
