Lipoprotein Fractionation,NMR with Lipid Panel (Triglycerides/HDL-C)
Order Code:
LIPFRA
Test Summary
The Lipoprotein Fractionation NMR test is used to help assess the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with intermediate or high risk based on traditional or emerging risk factors, and to assess therapeutic response in patients undergoing lipid-lowering therapy. The lipid panel is used to determine an individual's risk of developing cardiovascular diease and to monitor theefficacy of therapy of lifestyle changes.
