The Lipemic Sample

Lipemia manifests as turbidity of serum or plasma and is caused by elevated lipoprotein concentrations. Since lipemia is often visible to the eye, a sufficiently transparent sample container is a prerequisite to detection of lipemia. Visible detection of lipemia is also dependent on the type of plasma lipoproteins which are elevated in the sample. However, coagulation of serum samples after centrifugation from heparinized patients can also be the cause of turbidity.
