A 50-year-old diabetic comes to the laboratory to have rou- tine bloodwork drawn. His physician orders basic metabolic panel and a lipid profile. After the blood clots, the techni- cian spins down the specimen to find that the serum looks like milk. The test results are as follows: Na: 140 mEq/L K: 4.0 mEq/L Cl: 101 mEq/L CO2: 28 mg/dL Glucose: 455 mg/dL BUN: 24 mg/dL Creatinine: 1.1 mg/dL Phosphate: 3.7 mg/dL Calcium: 8.8 mg/dL ALP: 250 IU/L AST: 35 IU/L ALT: 29 IU/L Cholesterol: 500 mg/dL Triglycerides: 1200 mg/dL HDL: 35 mg/dL LDL: 160 mg/dL What causes the diabetic's serum to look like milk? What lipid test results do you expect to be elevated? How would this specimen fit into Fredrickson's classification scheme?

1.) You get an outpatient specimen for random glucose testing that has been centrifuged within 1 hour of collection. It was collected at 8 am, and the patient was fasting for a lipid panel that was also collected. The random glucose is 55mg/dL, while the patient's last reported value was from the emergency room and was 110mg/dL. What is a probable cause for the low glucose value? How is this remedied? Should the doctor be worried? 2.) A patient's actual glucose level is 215 mg/dL. What is the expected glucose level if the specimen was left unspun for 5 hours? shoe your work.
