Common Laboratory Findings:
The most commonly seen laboratory findings in fat embolism include:
- Anemia
- Thrombocytopenia
- Lipduria
In some cases, fat embolism syndrome is associated with elevations in the following laboratory values:[1][2]
- Plasma PLA2 (phospholipase A2)
- Nitrate/nitrite
- Methylguanidine
- TNF-α (tumour necrosis factor-α)
- IL-1β (interleukin-1β)
- IL-10 (interleukin-10)
