LDL Cholesterol

(100 Test / Box) or (1 x 10 mL / Box)

PRINCIPLE

The LDL-cholesterol reagent allows measuring the LDL-cholesterol fraction levels in serum or plasma directly, without the need for any sample pretreatment or centrifugation. The method consists of two specifi c steps. In the fi rst one, chylomicron, VLDL and HDL are selectively eliminated by means of specifi c oxidation reactions with cholesterol esterase and cholesterol oxidase, and also by a specifi c degradation reaction wiht catalase, forming cholestenone and H2 O2 . In the second step the remainder of LDL-cholesterol can be spectrophotometrically measured when a color is formed as it is transformed (quinone complex) by the presence of specifi c surfactants. DIAGNOSTIC USE LDL are low density lipoprotein, they transport cholesterol, triglycerides and lipids to cells. Even within the normal range of total cholesterol concentrations, an increase in LDL cholesterol can occur with an associated increased risk for coronary heart disease. High levels of LDL could be associated with obesity, diabetes and nephrosis. Single test result could not be used to make a clinical diagnosis. It should integrate clinical and laboratory data
