Abstract

With the increased sensitivity of the newest cardiac troponin assays, the risk of false positive cardiac troponin measurements has also increased. As summarised in this review, there are multiple possible causes of cardiac troponin release including several non-cardiac illnesses, particularly kidney disease. Further, there is a risk of analytical interference in which case repeated measurements with a different assay is a good tool. When there is a discrepancy between troponin measurement and clinical presentation of the patient, the clinician should consider the possibility of analytical interference.
