How to use… white blood cell enzyme assays

James Davison. Arch Dis Child Educ Pract Ed. 2017 Jun.

Abstract

White blood cell (leucocyte) enzyme assays are an important part of the investigation of potential metabolic disorders, in particular, lysosomal storage disorders. It is imperative that appropriate tests are selected, and that knowledge of the limitations of these assays is applied to avoid erroneous conclusions about confirmation or exclusion of diagnoses.

Keywords: Inherited metabolic disease; Leucocyte enzyme assay.; Lysosomal storage disorders.
