Puerto Rico blood donor issues has been identified in cases of severe hypertriglyceridemia presenting as turbid. Blood donations resulting in milky serum must be discarded. They are discarded because we cannot properly test the donation. This is the first report where we correlate turbidity and cardiovascular risk factors in the Puerto Rico population as well as blood types O and A, Rh (+) with dyslipidemia. Blood donors should be screened in more details regarding cardiovascular and metabolic risks to avoid problems with recruitment and retention strategies.
