Lipemic plasma is a type of blood plasma that appears milky or cloudy due to a high concentration of lipids, such as triglycerides and cholesterol. This condition often occurs after a meal rich in fats or can result from certain metabolic disorders. Lipemia can interfere with laboratory tests, leading to inaccurate results, and may indicate underlying health issues such as pancreatitis or Diabetes. It's important for healthcare providers to recognize and manage lipemic plasma appropriately.

What is lipemic blood?
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.
What color is lipemic in serum appearance?
Milky/white
Why does a colloid appear cloudy?
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."
Can blood glucose level falsely increased in lipemic serum?
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.
What is lipemic severve?
Do you mean severe? Severe lipemia is the harsh presence of excess fats or lipids in the blood.
Why would a lipemic specimen cause an overestimation of total protein value?
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.
What MCHC value should plasma saline replacement be performed?
Saline replacement should only be used if all other measures have failed. If you have a lipemic sample, plasma HGB should be used to correct the HGB, MCHC, and MCH. If you hae a cold agglutinin, then the sample should be warmed and re-run. If the cold agglutinin will not warm out, then saline replacement should be considered.
What repairs breaks in the blood vessels?
Plasma Plasma Plasma Plasma
What are the effects of lipemic sample on serum electrolyte?
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.
What are some different applications for plasma torches?
There are some different applications for plasma torches (or plasma arc or plasma gun) including plasma cutting, plasma spraying and plasma and waste disposal.
Is there plasma in plasma cutters?
No. A plasma cutter creates plasma from some preexisting gas.
How the plasma make?
The plasma make when the plasma ready.
