Abstract :
In a hospital setting, glucose is
often measured from venous blood in the clinical
laboratory. However, laboratory glucose measurements
are typically not available in real time. In practice, turnaround times for laboratory measurements can be
minutes to hours. This analysis assesses the impact of
turn-around time on the effective clinical accuracy of
laboratory measurements. Fasting Blood samples was
collected from 50-apparently healthy subjects of Federal
college of medical laboratory Sciences, Jos, Plateau State,
Nigeria. The blood samples were collected into a plain
tubes and fluoride oxalate tubes for serum and plasma
respectively. Blood glucose estimations was analyzed
using Oxidase--Peroxidase method and the Statistical
data were analyzed using statistical product and service
solution (SPSS) or IBM SPSS version 25.0.The mean
Finally, the novelty of our study is assessing
the effects of time variations on blood glucose
concentrations, with this study, we have been able to
establish that, there is no stability of glucose
concentrations if the collected samples are kept beyond
reasonable time of beyond 4 - 6 hours before the analysis
is carried out. This report is also in agreement with the
research reports of Ambade.
