Lipemic blood serum refers to a condition where the serum is milky white from its high fat content. Lipemic blood serum refers to a condition where the serum is milky white from its high fat content.
Milky/white
Yes, blood glucose levels can be falsely increased in lipemic serum due to interference in some laboratory methods used to measure glucose levels. Lipemic serum contains high levels of triglycerides or fats, which can affect the accuracy of glucose measurements by some glucose assays. This interference can result in erroneously elevated glucose readings.
yes depending how severve , and some other factors like if it's in a school zone etc..
A lipemic specimen contains excess lipids, which can interfere with protein measurements by causing turbidity in the sample. This turbidity can scatter light during photometric analysis, leading to an overestimation of total protein values. It is important to properly handle and centrifuge specimens to remove excess lipids before testing to obtain accurate results.
A lipemic sample can interfere with the measurement of serum electrolytes by causing a falsely elevated potassium level due to the turbidity of the sample. Lipemia can also interfere with the accurate measurement of sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate levels in the serum. It is important to properly clear the sample of lipids before analyzing electrolytes to ensure accurate results.
The cloudier your plasma is, the more platelets it has.I have not found any reference to the amount of platelets and plasma turbidity. Please see next answer..."Turbid, cloudy or milky serum (lipemic serum) may be produced by the presence of fatty substances (lipids) in the blood. Bacterial contamination may also cause cloudy serum. Moderately or grossly lipemic specimens may alter certain test results.A recent meal may produce transient lipemia; therefore, we recommend that patients fast 12-16 hours before a blood specimen is obtained."
The most common causes would be for lipemia due to a high fat diet or obesity or having eaten recently, poor collection technique (possibly caused by a dog that fights having blood drawn) or poor handling during testing.
If a test requiring a fasting specimen shows elevated serum levels, it suggests that the patient likely did not fast before the test. This can affect the accuracy of the results for tests that require a fasting state to provide a baseline level for comparison. Repeating the test after proper fasting may be necessary for accurate results.
Containing an unusually high amount of fat. The term has its roots in the "medical" name for fats, lipids. In blood samples, these are identified as having milky serum (the normally clear or yellowish portion of the blood) after being centrifuged. Depending on the tests being done and the methodology used, this can interfere with test results. However, most labs have procedures for working around this problem.
An icteric sample can be corrected by using a method that does not rely on colorimetric detection, such as turbidimetric or refractometric methods. Hemolysis can be corrected by using a spectrophotometric method that measures protein concentration at a wavelength where hemoglobin absorption is minimal. Lipemia can be corrected by using ultracentrifugation or filtration to remove the lipids before analyzing the sample for total protein.
yes and dont let ur stingy dentist tell you other wise i was on tylonal 3 first did nothing now im on 4 mg diladid 3x daily dont feel a thing i would appriciate if dentist would go on a more patient by patient basis my wife had a extracted tooth took tylonal#3 and was fine im on 100mg of methadone a day and still in severve pain hence my need for diladid.....
