"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.
Adding the prefix an- to the word icteric forms anicteric, which means not icteric.

This would be icteric, meaning pertaining to icterus.
It depends on the laboratory's guidelines. If the icteric bilirubin specimen interferes with the accuracy of the test results, then it may be rejected. In some cases, the specimen may be processed but flagged for having abnormal color.
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.
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.
Icteric serum takes on a greenish/fluorescent yellow tinge to it...appearing similar to how bile looks.
Another name for jaundice is icterus (this is the medical term).Please see the related link.Icterus
for preparing 0.1 normal solution of potassium permanganate you have to disssolve 3.16 g potssium permangnate in 1L water bt in alkaline or neutral medium reactions of potassium permanganate is different and Mn gains 3 electrons in redox reaction,so far alkaline medium redox titration equivalent wt of KMnO4 will be 158\3=52.6.so far,0.1 N KMnO4 in alkaline medium redox titration dissolve 5.26 g in 1L sol.
The medical term used to describe serum and plasma that is yellowish to brown in color is "icteric." It indicates the presence of bilirubin, a pigment derived from the breakdown of red blood cells that can accumulate in the blood when liver function is impaired.
