"Icteric" refers to a condition characterized by jaundice, which is the yellowing of the skin and eyes due to elevated levels of bilirubin in the blood. This condition often indicates liver dysfunction, hemolysis, or bile duct obstruction. In a clinical context, "icteric" can describe the appearance of a patient's serum or urine when bilirubin levels are high. It is an important indicator for diagnosing various medical conditions related to liver and gallbladder health.

What is icteric index and how can measure icetric index?
The icteric index is a clinical indicator used to assess the degree of jaundice, specifically by measuring bilirubin levels in the blood. It is calculated by taking the ratio of total bilirubin to the direct (conjugated) bilirubin levels, usually expressed as a percentage. To measure the icteric index, blood samples are taken and analyzed using a laboratory assay that quantifies the concentrations of total and direct bilirubin, allowing healthcare providers to evaluate liver function and diagnose potential liver diseases.
How can an icteric hemolyzed or lipemic sample be corrected for total protein assay?
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.
