AB The  appearance  of  blood  in  a  tube  from  a  peripheral  blood  draw  can  give  a  clue  to  disease.  A  specimen  may  demonstrate  lipemia  (see  Fig.  25.62),  which  is  defined  as  visible  turbidity  in  serum  samples  due  to  lipoprotein  particles,  specifically  chylomicrons.  The  most  common  cause  of  lipemia  is  hypertriglyceridemia.
