Abstract

Background: The complete blood count (CBC) test is usually performed on an automatic analyzer counter, which operates on the principles of light and optics mainly. There is a proportion of hyperlipidemia samples causing plasma turbidity, it fluctuates in the range from 0.5% to 2.5% and blood turbidity is one of the causes affecting the accuracy of this principle. Objectives: To determine the proportion of complete blood count (CBC) results affected by hyperlipidemia and the threshold of hyperlipidemia that affects the CBC results. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study on EDTA blood samples of patients have been tested CBC test and triglyceride test result ≥3.4mmol/L at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. Results: The proportion of CBC indicators which was changed in blood samples had triglyceride concentration ≥3.4mmol/L: HGB (100%), MCH (100%), RBC (80%), HCT (86%), MCHC (78%), RDW (92%), WBC (64%), PLT (50%). Triglyceride=4.2mmol/L (samples had the lowest concentration in triglyceride group >3.4mmol/L) were selected as the concentrtion threshold of triglyceride that affected some CBC indicators. Conclusion: Samples had triglyceride ≥3.4mmol/L affect almost CBC indicator in which RBC, HGB, HCT, MCH, MCHC changed statistically significant (p<0.05).
