Abstract
Intravenous lipid infusions and type 2 diabetes were the most common causes of severe lipemia in this study at an academic medical center. Given that iatrogenic factors are the most common cause of severe lipemia, education and intervention may be helpful in reducing frequency of severe lipemia in patient specimens.
