Positive interference with the Jaffé reaction by cephalosporin antibiotics. 1977

R R Swain, and S L Briggs

Cephaloglycin, cephalothin, cephaloridine, cefoxitin, and cephacetrile are cephalosporin antibiotics that react with alkaline picrate solution to give a creatinine-like response. The mechanism of this reaction is not known, and several structurally similar compounds do not react under these same conditions. Because large quantities of a cephalosporin antibiotic may be administered to a patient with limited ability to excrete the drug (as occurs with compromised renal function), the magnitude of this interference can be appreciable. It does not appear possible to avoid the cephalosporin-caused interference by the use of "kinetic" creatinine methods.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
