Hi all, We would be grateful for any thoughts on the following case. There is a baby in our neonatal ICU with multiple medical problems who has a high bilirubin. On our Roche method we have been unable to report a direct bilirubin due to a high lipaemic index (index 130). However on inspection of the sample it is not lipaemic and triglycerides are 0.79. We have centrifuged the sample, there is no lipid and the results (including the indices) are unchanged. The baby also has had no lipid for the last 3 days and the lipaemic index has held at this level. Has anyone any suggestions as to what may be interfering or causing the lipaemic index? Many thanks, Grainne ________________________________ This message contains information from Belfast Health And Social Care Trust which may be privileged and confidential.
