Collect

10 mL from a 24-hour urine collection. Refrigerate during collection.

Unacceptable Conditions

Frozen, specimens preserved with 6N HCL, NA2CO3, Toluene, 6N HNO3, Boric acid, Thymol.

Storage/Transport Temperature

Internal: Deliver to lab immediatley
Offsite: 10 mL Deliver to laboratory refrigerated.

Stability (from collection to initiation)

Refrigerated preferred

Remarks

If this test is used in conjunction with the Iodine 131 uptake test, then the specimen colection should begin immediately after the dose of Iodine 131 is given (ie., the patient should void and discard urine just prior to the I131, and all subsequent urine should be collected for the next 24 hours). The last void should be includedin the collection. 24 hour volume is required on request form for processing.

IRON LIVER TISSUE

LAB3

Collect

Liver tissue obtained with an 18 gauge needle.

Specimen Preparation

Transport at least a 1 cm long specimen. Tissue can be fresh, paraffin-embedded, or dried. Also acceptable: Formalin-fixed. Specimens should be stored and transported in a metal-free container such as a royal blue (no additive).

Unacceptable Conditions

Specimens less than 0.25 mg (dry weight). Specimens stored or shipped in saline.

Storage/Transport Temperature

Refrigerated.

Stability (from collection to initiation)

Paraffin block, preserved (formalin), or dried: Ambient: Indefinitely; Refrigerated: Indefinitely; Frozen: Indefinitely
Fresh tissue: Ambient: Unacceptable; Refrigerated: 1 week; Frozen: Indefinitely

Remarks

Age is required on test request form in order to calculate iron index.

Methodology

Reported

2-6 days

Synonyms

  • LAB3
  • IRON,LIVER
  • IRONL
  • IRON

Ordering Recommendations

Useful in confirming hepatic iron overload, particularly in individuals with hemochromatosis and no common HFE mutations. Initial approach to diagnosis for hemochromatosis should include Iron and Iron Binding Capacity (0020420) (NOTE: test includes serum transferrin saturation) and Ferritin (0070065).

Reference Interval

Male
Female
Hepatic Iron Concentration by Weight (HIC)200-2,000 µg/g of tissue200-1,600 µg/g of tissue
Hepatic Iron Index (HII)Less than 1.0Less than 1.0

Interpretive Data

A Hepatic Iron Index (HII) is not calculated for patients less than 14 years.  An HII less than 1.0 is consistent with normal iron accumulation.  An HII 1.0 through 1.9 is consistent with mild iron accumulation such as in heterozygous hemochromatosis or alcoholic liver disease.  An HII greater than 1.9 is consistent with iron overload such as in homozygous hemochromatosis, porphyria cutanea tarda, and cirrhotic liver disease.  The HII will decrease with chelation, chronic blood loss, or phlebotomy.

Synonyms

  • Anti-Islet Cell Antibody, IgG
  • LAB517

Additional Technical Information

Ordering Recommendations

• If pursuing antibody testing to determine autoimmune diabetes mellitus, perform at least 2 antibody tests. In most cases, use glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody in combination with another antibody test. Other antibody tests include Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Antibody (2001771), IA-2 Antibody (0050202), Insulin Antibody (0099228), and Zinc Transporter 8 Antibody (2006196). • Most useful to establish autoimmune etiology in previously diagnosed type 1 DM. Do not use to differentiate type 1 DM from type 2 DM, for most cases.

Reference Interval

< 1:4 No antibody detected.

Interpretive Data

Islet cell antibodies (ICAs) are associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D), an autoimmune endocrine disorder. ICAs may be present years before the onset of clinical symptoms. To calculate Juvenile Diabetes Foundation (JDF) units: multiply the titer x 5 (1:8  8 x 5 = 40 JDF Units).
