0

High levels of maltose in blood can result in falsely high test results. Blood maltose levels can be high in any patient who is: Undergoing peritoneal dialysis with solutions containing icodextrin (e.g., Extraneal®) because icodextrin is metabolized to maltose Receiving certain types of IV immunoglobulin therapies that contain maltose (e.g., Octagam® or Gamimune®) Receiving IV solutions containing maltose as a substitute for glucose or as a means of hydration Patients on these therapies should not use Accu-Chek Aviva Nano meters to test their blood glucose for as long as therapy continues and should discuss alternative testing options with their healthcare professional.
