Sumaiya Thasnim: How Hemolysis, Lipemia and Icterus Affect Immunoassays
Sumaiya Thasnim, Former Medical Laboratory Technologist at Mother Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“How Hemolysis, Lipemia and Icterus Affect Immunoassays
Did you know that sample quality can significantly influence immunoassay results?
- Hemolysis: Release of hemoglobin from red blood cells can interfere with certain assays.
- Lipemia: Excess lipids cause sample turbidity, potentially affecting light-based measurements.
- Icterus: Elevated bilirubin can interfere with some assays through spectral effects or other method-dependent mechanisms.
Key takeaway:
Always assess sample quality, follow the manufacturer’s interference limits, and investigate unexpected results before reporting.
Accurate results start with a quality specimen!”
