Interference of metamizole in the measurement of serum creatinine concentration

Abstract

There is little literature on the interference of metamizole in measurement creatinine concentration by the enzymatic method. Some studies have postulated that the dipyrone molecule is responsible for interfering in the last reaction of the enzymatic method sequence, due to its similarity with the 4-aminophenazone molecule. The aim of this study is to examine the interference of the presence of metamizole in the measurement of serum creatinine concentration by the enzymatic method.
