TITLE: Clinical Chemistry Grand Rounds: Free glycerol measurement reveals triglyceride bias with limited categorical impact


Presenter: Forouh Kalantari. Ph.D., M.S.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

1. Describe the metabolism and transport of triglycerides and glycerol, including the role of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in lipid homeostasis.

2. Explain the analytical principles of enzymatic triglyceride assays and identify the mechanisms by which circulating free glycerol can cause pseudohypertriglyceridemia.

3. Evaluate the clinical impact of free glycerol interference on triglyceride interpretation.
