Lipoprotein Quantification by Ultracentrifugation

General Information

Lab Name

Lipoprotein Quantification

Lab Code

RLP2

Epic Name

Lipoprotein Quantification

External Test Id

36435

Description

Includes: Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, VLDL (calculated).

Patient Preparation: Fasting for at least 12 hours is required.

Note: The assay manufacturer, Roche, notes that N-acetylcysteine, when administered in high concentrations (such as for treatment of acetaminophen overdose), can interfere with their assay for HDL cholesterol, leading to falsely low results.
