Direct Measurement of LDL Cholesterol
able amounts of radiolabeled dextran in the plasma protein fraction [15]. Consequently, we do not think this mechanism plays a substantial role in producing the lower than expected dextran concentrations seen in the present study. The dextran we used had a mean molecular mass of 70 000 Da. Thus, some quantity of lower-molecular-mass dextran could have leaked out of the vascular space and distri...
متن کاملComparison of LDL-cholesterol direct measurement with the estimate using the Friedewald formula in a sample of 10,664 patients.
OBJECTIVE To compare direct measurement of LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) determined by a homogeneous method with LDL-cholesterol estimation determined by the Friedewald formula in a large heterogeneous population. METHODS The measurements of total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) were performed using traditional enzymatic methods. The measurements of HDL-C and LDL-C were performed using dire...
متن کاملComparison of LDL cholesterol concentrations by Friedewald calculation and direct measurement in relation to cardiovascular events in 27,331 women.
BACKGROUND National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) guidelines recommend development of direct assays for LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) measurement, but it is unclear how these assays compare with Friedewald calculation in predicting cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS In a study of 27 331 healthy women with triglycerides <or=4.52 mmol/L (<or=400 mg/dL), baseline fasting Friedewald LDL-C was...
متن کاملVariability in cholesterol measurements: comparison of calculated and direct LDL cholesterol determinations.
Calculated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations determined from the Friedewald equation have a large intraindividual CV, in part because the calculation incorporates the variability of cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglyceride measurements. We studied whether a new assay that measures LDL-C directly will reduce this variability and reduce ...
متن کاملComparative study of LDL-cholesterol levels in Thai patients by the direct method and using the Friedewald formula.
In this study, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels by direct measurement and estimation using the Friedewald formula, were compared among 1,016 Thai patients. The study assessed blood samples from out-patients sent to the Clinical Chemistry Laboratory, Department of Clinical Pathology, Rajvithi Hospital, Ministry of Public Health, for measurement of total cholesterol (TC), LDL-C,...
