Clinical Pediatric Hematology-ncology Volume 20 ㆍ Number 1 ㆍ April 2013 REVIEW ARTICLE 적혈구효소검사 송정한 서울대학교의과대학분당서울대학교병원진단검사의학과 Junghan Song, M.D. Department of Laboratory Medicine, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam, Korea Among ~20 RBC enzyme deficiencies causing hereditary hemolytic anemia (HRA), deficiencies involving three RBC enzymes such as glucose-6-phosphatase, pyruvate kinase and pyrimidine 5 -nucleodiase were known to be relatively common. The methods that have been used for RBC enzyme analysis are based on the kinetic spectrophotometry. This method, however, usually requires multiple step reactions and manual manipulations which are labor-intensive and time-consuming, and carry a greater risk of error due to their complexity. To solve this problem, we had successfully developed the multiplex enzyme analysis for galactose using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). We are now trying to adopt this method to other RBC enzymes associated with HRA. The devised method will allow simple, rapid, sensitive and reproducible quantification of RBC enzymes and should be helpful for the confirmatory diagnosis of HRA caused by RBC enzyme deficiencies.

Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) 를이용한방법은단일효소반응으로생성된산물을직접특이적으로측정할수있고, 동시에여러효소검사를한꺼번에측정할수있는장점이있다. UPLC-MS/MS 방법을이용한구체적인검사법은다음과같다. 1) 검체항응고제로는 acid-citrate dextrose (ACD), heparin, EDTA가모두가가능하나 ACD 항응고제가가장좋은것으로되어있고, 효소와항응고제에따라차이가있지만, 냉장보관하면 6-20일간 Clin Pediatr Hematol ncol 9
