“…1 Tan and Wong describe that initial administration alone (1.5 mL/kg, 20% SMOFlipid emulsion) followed by 15 mL/kg/h for 5 min, pharmacokinetically produced a lipaemic index of 660 (660 mg/dL) and 1220 (1220 mg/dL), respectively, causing interference with aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase measurements, on account of exceeding the lipaemic threshold for these assays. 1 However, the in vivo plasma clearance of lipid emulsion will also affect the plasma concentration of lipid emulsion. Lipid emulsion, containing triglyceride, bypasses the gastrointestinal tract and directly enters the blood stream.…”
