{"product_id":"liposcreen-ldl-subfractions-4028","title":"Liposcreen LDL Subfractions","description":"\u003cp\u003eTraditional lipid profiles do not identify the risk of cardiovascular diseases that are caused by the presence of small dense LDL and IDL particles. Dangerous LDL particles may hide behind normal cholesterol levels and, conversely, elevated cholesterol levels do not inevitably have to be associated with a heart attack risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiposcreen separates and quantifies all lipoprotein sub-fractions including the ‘large’, less atherogenic LDL-1 and LDL-2 and the ‘small’, highly atherogenic LDL-3 to LDL-7.   The test also measures VLDL and IDL cholesterol linked with type III dyslipidaemia and associated hyperlipoproteinaemias.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #992549;\"\u003eApproximately 50% of patients without heart attack have higher cholesterol levels.

The small LDL particles in particular have a very high atherogenic potential. Therefore, it is less important how much cholesterol a patient has but which type of cholesterol is elevated and which size distribution the cholesterol particles have. These are the parameters the risk assessment and therapy depend on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"HiddenLDLs\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-208 aligncenter\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"257\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/HiddenLDLs-300x257.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/HiddenLDLs-300x257.png 300w, https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/HiddenLDLs-600x514.png 600w, https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/HiddenLDLs-280x240.png 280w, https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/HiddenLDLs.png 615w\" width=\"300\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 0.75em;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTest details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTest code:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4028\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cardiovascular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e SST Serum (Fasting)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection method:\u003c\/strong\u003e CI05.28.01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTest method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automated chemistry (Roche Diagnostics), Electropheresis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurnaround time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7-10 business days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is measured\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul class=\"analytes\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eCholesterol\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHDL\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eIDL\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eLDL\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eLDL subfractions (x7)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eParticle Size\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eTriglycerides\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eVLDL\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eResources\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/4028-LIPOSCREEN-LDL-SUBFRACTIONS.pdf\"\u003ePatient Brochure\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/4028-LIPOSCREEN-LDL-Subfractions.pdf\"\u003eSample Report\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis test should be ordered and interpreted with guidance from a qualified healthcare practitioner.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Test information is general only.
