Abstract
A mistake can be made in interpretating plasma triglyceride levels sin ce in some cases pseudohypertriglyceridaemia may result from increased plasma glycerol due to a glycerol kinase deficit. Most automated trig lyceride assays used in laboratories do not contain a negative control , i.e. a glycerol assay. We report two cases with pseudohypertriglycer idaemia due to hyperglycerolaemia and describe the clinical and biolog ical features which suggested the diagnosis.
