FICTIONAL CASE · SELF-REFLECTION WITHOUT A SCORE
A laboratory reports markedly elevated potassium in a haemolysed sample from a patient treated for hypertension. They appear well and a previous result was normal. The report arrives near the end of the day.
Can this be filed as an artefact without follow-up?
No. Haemolysis is a possible explanation, not confirmation. Contact the laboratory, assess context and promptly arrange confirmation and relevant assessment according to risk. Absence of symptoms does not exclude a dangerous abnormality. Keep responsibility explicit until the verified result is managed.
