A client came to me with a DD urine metals test. It says the provoking agent was “creatinine by Jaffe Method”. Is this an accurate challenge to release metals? I thought it was DMSA
Terri,
This doesn’t sound like a challenge test to me. I had to look up Jaffe Method and its a specific type of chemical reaction. There’s a number of articles online. This is one example – https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12635710. It’s a type of chemical reaction that was developed by a German scientist in the late 1800’s named Max Jaffe – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffe_reaction
