Learn to identify and analyze the various modifiable and non-modifiable factors that can significantly impact the interpretation of chemical pathology results through this 56-minute webinar from The Royal College of Pathologists. Explore real-world case studies focusing on unusual hyperlipidaemias to understand how patient-specific variables, environmental conditions, pre-analytical factors, and inherent biological variations can influence laboratory test outcomes. Develop critical thinking skills to recognize when results may be affected by factors such as diet, medications, timing of sample collection, patient preparation, genetic variations, age, and underlying medical conditions. Gain practical insights into distinguishing between clinically significant results and those that may be artifacts of external influences, enabling more accurate diagnostic decision-making and improved patient care in clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine.
