We received an allegation about discrepant results for 1 patient's serum/plasma sample tested with low density lipoproteins-cholesterol gen.3 (ldl3) assay and 1 patient's sample tested with trigylcerides (trigl) assay on a cobas 6000 c501 analyzer.Sample 1 was tested for ldl3 (patient 1): initial result: 54 mg/dl.Rerun result: 137.7 mg/dl.No questionable result was reported outside the laboratory as the result did not match the patient's history.The sample was then repeated and the repeat result was deemed to be correct.Sample 2 was tested for trigl (patient 2): initial result: 366.9 mg/dl.1st repeat result: 265.5 mg/dl.2nd repeat result: 266 mg/dl.
