Lipid Risk Profile (LIPID PROF)
|
| Synonyms:
| Lipid Profile |
| Specimen: | Blood; (1) SST (serum separator), Red (no preservative), or Green (lithium heparin) top vacutainer tube.
Patient should be fasting. |
| Volume: | Full primary tube |
| Minimum Volume: | 1.5 mL serum/plasma |
| Collection: | If tube other than an SST is collected, transfer serum or plasma to a tightly capped plastic aliquot tube within 2 hours of collection for transport.
Refrigerate at 2-8 °C for 7 days. |
| Rejection Criteria: | Hemolysis; improper labeling. |
| Reference Range: | See report |
| Methodology: | |
| Test Use: | Evaluate hyperlipidemia as an index to coronary artery disease. Patients with obstructive liver disease may develop lipoprotein abnormalities. Serum lipid factors have not been demostrated to have a strong influence on recurrent stenosis following coron |
| Additional Information: | Fasting specimen preferred. |
| Testing Includes: | Triglycerides, HDL, Total Cholesterol with calculated LDL and VLDL. Risk Factor is calculated. |
| Testing Facility: | AnMed Laboratory |
