Sifat Jubaira Shares Chylous Blood Clinical Case: Milky Blood Instead of Red
Sifat Jubaira, Lab Medicine Specialist at United Hospital Limited, shared on LinkedIn:
“Ever seen blood that looks milky white instead of red?
That’s not contamination — it’s chylous blood, and it tells a serious story.
Chylous blood appears when excess chyle enters the bloodstream.
Chyle is a milky intestinal fluid rich in digested fats (chylomicrons) and lymph, normally transported quietly through the lymphatic system after fat absorption.
When this pathway is disrupted, fat-loaded lymph spills into the blood —
making it cloudy, milky, and sometimes a red flag for lymphatic obstruction or pathology.
In the lab, this isn’t just an unusual appearance —
it’s a clinical clue that demands attention.
A single tube can reveal an entire hidden mechanism.”
