BACKGROUND: Impaired levels or function of C1 inhibitor (C1-INH) results in angioedema due to increased bradykinin. It is important to distinguish between angioedema related to C1-INH deficiency and that caused by other mechanisms, as treatment options are different. In hereditary (HAE) and acquired (AAE) angioedema, C1-INH concentration is measured to aid patient diagnosis. Here, we describe an automated turbidimetric assay to measure C1-INH concentration on the Optilite® analyzer.
METHODS: Linearity, precision, and interference were established over a range of C1-INH concentrations. The 95th percentile reference interval was generated from 120 healthy adult donors. To compare the Optilite C1-INH assay with a predicate assay used in a clinical laboratory, samples sent for C1-INH investigation were used. The predicate results were provided to allow comparison.
RESULTS: The Optilite C1-INH assay was linear across the measuring range at the standard sample dilution. Intra and interassay variability was <6%. The 95th percentile adult reference interval for the assay was 0.21-0.38 g/L. There was a strong correlation between the Optilite concentrations and those generated with the predicate assay (R2 = 0.94, P < 0.0001, slope y = 0.83x). All patients with Type I HAE (n = 24) and AAE (n = 3) tested had concentrations below the measuring range in both assays, while all patients with unspecified angioedema (UAE), not diagnosed with HAE or AAE had values within the reference range.
CONCLUSION: The Optilite assay allows the automated and precise quantification of C1-INH concentrations in patient samples. It could therefore be used as a tool to aid the investigation of patients with angioedema.
