چکیده

We compared the performance of three methods for quantifying high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) with the Reference Method for HDL-C, using samples with a wide range of triglyceride (TG) concentrations (290-18000 mg/L). All three comparison assays-- utilizing a magnetic dextran sulfate precipitating reagent, a direct method, and a standard MgCl2-dextran sulfate reagent--were precise, with a run-to-run CV of less than or equal to 4.1%. However, the systematic error of these assays exceeded the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) performance goal of less than or equal to 10% in half of the concentration ranges tested. Nevertheless, the total error of the assays generally meets the current 22% limit set by the NCEP. Although both the magnetic dextran sulfate precipitation reagent and the direct assay can be performed more rapidly than the MgCl2-dextran sulfate assay, the direct assay involves no sample preparation and requires only 4 microL of sample excluding the dead space. Although precipitation is frequently inadequate with the MgCl2-dextran sulfate reagent at TG concentrations >6000 mg/L, both the magnetic and the direct reagent show no interference from high TG concentrations as great as 18 000 mg/L.

Prevalence of Elevated Non-HDL Cholesterol among Patients with Diabetes in An Iranian Population

Background and Aims: Non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), which reflects all cholesterol present in potentially atherogenic lipoprotein particles, might be a useful marker of atherosclerosis in diabetic subjects. In the present study, we evaluated the prevalence of high non-HDL-C in patients with dyslipidemia in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects following LDL-C assessment as t...

Reference Values for Serum Lipid Profiles in Iranian Adults: A Spline-Based Quantile Regression Method

Background: Reference measurements are used to screen for abnormal blood lipids. The problem is that these reference values obtained in one population cannot be effective for another population. This study aimed to determine the reference values for blood lipids profiles in the population aged 25-64 years in Yazd. Methods: This descriptive study was based on the data of  Yazd Health Study (YaHS...
