Reason

Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has become aware of reports of falsely depressed creatinine results for patients on phenindione therapy when using enzymatic methodology. The root cause was confirmed via testing indicating that ADVIA, Dimension and Dimension Vista Enzymatic Creatinine results are potentially interfered by the Phenindione drug and/or its metabolites. Interference has not been observed with the Jaffe methodology.
