Lipemia-Induced Hemoglobin Overestimation and Correction by Plasma Replacement in a Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Patient.

This case emphasizes the need to correlate laboratory results with clinical and biochemical data. In lipemic samples, plasma replacement may provide a practical correction method for falsely elevated hemoglobin values when resampling is not feasible. Recognition and prompt correction of lipemia-induced errors are crucial to avoid inappropriate clinical decisions.
