Reference values of galectin-3 and cardiac troponins derived from a single cohort of healthy blood donors

Plasma concentrations of galectin-3, hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT and corresponding 99th percentile URLs were rather low in our cohort of healthy blood donors compared with previously published data. In our reference population, analyte plasma concentrations above the LOD were detectable in 100% of the individuals with the Abbott galectin-3 assay, but only in less than 50% for both the Abbott hs-cTnI assay and the Roche hs-cTnT assay.
