There is increasing clinical interest in the measurement of serum total sialic acid (TSA). There are a number of methods available but with little data suggesting the preferred technique. We evaluated three serum sialic acid assays: the Warren assay, the Svennerholm assay, and a commercially availab

β¦ Synopsis
Plasma or serum sialic acid has been established as a potential tumour marker. More recently it has been shown that elevated serum sialic acid is a risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. A variety of assays are available to measure serum or plasma sialic acid and are discussed in this review, along with other clinical conditions in which serum or plasma sialic acid may be of relevance. Other factors influencing serum or plasma sialic acid concentrations are also discussed.
