This is a picture of a blood tube (no additives) from a lab draw tonight. The white substance is cholesterol that separated out over about 15 minutes. Talk about high triglycerides!
DrKingAce
What was the value of cholesterol? And any other blood disorders?
jrhawk42
don't worry it's the good cholesterol
Denare
I think that patient is dead, or is the pillsbury doughboy.
dragonthc
This is normal after eating a fatty meal.

I didn't know John Goodman was a donor

I'm expecting a very large heart attack followed by immediate death. Jesus christ.
DlXON
Thanks for this image, it will stay with me forever and help me cut down the amount of fatty crap I eat.
LivinginLuling
Carbohydrates. Limit your shitty carbs.
LiliD85
How is that person not dead?
OhBrantley
Is it possible to use a dialysis like process to remove chlorestorol? Because I think that'd be really cool

So. This happened by just leaving it alone? No spinning or nothing? That's insane.
EllipsThis
As someone with high cholesterol managing with diet and exercise, any chance you can tell us what their levels ended up being?
HeyOP
I'm kinda impressed.
FlyrishHoney
... me too... It sort of feels as though you should congratulate said blood giver on the ability to eat so much fat...
TraumaTramp
Sadly more hereditary than lifestyle!
ToenailCheeseMan
Have you tried cocaine?

That's just the stuff they put in the bottom to keep it from clotting. They don't put blood in vials by itself.
wotemer
no its not.

This is the post next to this one. I wonder if there's correlation here
nginn
Well, this just talked me out of a jalapeno cheddar dog I was about to make.
dangertatas
Interesting! What where the levels of the different blood lipids?
PunnyTiger
this dude is 12% bacon.
MagicPeanutz

I've seen green plasma before during a collection

Former plasma collection employee here. I've been told it's birth control that causes it.

Are you in Cairns? I just sent a sample to a lab in Cairns where the dude had homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia
octopamine
Oh I have that in my family. My uncle is the first male to live past 40 and last count I believe he's had 14 stents despite meds and diet.

"Please recollect." -the lab
TraumaTramp
They were actually able to run everything but the Hct, MCH, and MCHC.
jbake
MCH/MCHC are calculations and not tests that can be "run." They're calculated from the Hct, Hgb, and RBC count. The MCV requires the Hct. ??
Lisossoma
Colesterol and triglycerides are diferent things
TraumaTramp
You're wrong
jbake
No he's not. Triglycerides are quite different than cholesterol.
Lisossoma
Diferent molecules, djfferent lab tests, diferent medications for control. I'm a doctor in the cardiovascular area

This is why you guys can't have free healthcare

Cause I don't take care of myself?

"this is a tainted blood sample whose vacuum seal broke causing the suspension fluid in the bottom to loosen and separate"--accountless husb
jbake
That white substance is not cholesterol. It is chylomicrons.
SlamCampbell
Thank you
Mauricethegiraffe
Which are?
jbake
Chylomicrons are the largest lipoprotein in the body, comprised of about 85% triglycerides. Followed by VLDL, LDL, and HDL.
jbake
Cholesterol only represents about <5% of a chylomicrons total volume.

So, when this person bleeds, sausage gravy comes out? Lucky.
itsthevoiceman
Yo momma so fat, when she cuts her finger, she bleeds gravy!

Excuse me sir, could you yack off a finger, I've got some hot biscuits to smother.

When your blood is 40% blood, you might have a problem
Barkinsons
It's not that extreme, just enough to change the colour of the plasma. When you draw blood from fasted horses it often looks like this
TraumaTramp
It is extreme. Sorry, you're wrong.
Barkinsons
Well I don't see human blood often, there are surprising differences
PartyProbe
Thats about normal. Less, the blood cannot carry sufficient O2. More, the blood becomes too viscous

Talk to your doctor about lipitor today
RootAccess
when its this high can we call it a lipo-draw?
RootAccess
when lipo suction isn't enough. JUST DRAW IT FROM MY VEEINS
BlueStringsAttached
It's like those drinks that are <5% fruit content
jaggedcow
It actually should be 40-45% red cells in most people
sdevenhawking
Yeah.. red blood /cells/. When it's 40% of what most people refer to as blood, then it's a problem.
jaggedcow
Well the problem here is more that the remaining 60% is butter, not water and protein ????
sdevenhawking
Well, that too. If you can spread your blood butter, you're gonna have a bad time.
