Introduction: Reducing laboratory errors and improving patient safety is receiving a lot of attention. Lipaemic samples are cause of analytical errors and present challenges for laboratories, particularly for those without ultracentrifuges. Lipaemia can originate from physiological (postprandial metabolism), para-physiological causes (e.g. IV administration of lipids) as well as metabolic disturbances (e.g. hypertriglyceridaemia).
