This can result in a falsely elevated salicylate concentration?
Biary R et al. recently reported a case of a patient with hypertriglyceridemia (serum triglycerides > 7000 mg/dL) resulting in a spurious elevation of serum salicylate concentrations when done by a colorimetric assay. (Biary R et al. Falsely elevated salicylate concentration in a patient with hypertriglyceridemia. Toxicology Communications 2018; 2(1): 1-2. https://doi.org/10.1080/24734306.2017.1412566)
