Description

Cholesterol is a component of cell membranes and serves also as a precursor for biosynthesis e.g. steroid hormones and bile acids. In plasma, cholesterol is transported by lipoproteins, forming lipid-apolipoprotein complexes. There are four types of lipoproteins: high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and chylomicrons. LDL functions to carry cholesterol to peripheral cells, while HDL is responsible for taking cholesterol from body cells. Four different kinds of lipoproteins show different relationships for coronary atherosclerosis.

LDL cholesterol contributes to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques within the arterial intima and is strongly associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) and associated mortality. Even with total cholesterol within the normal range, elevated LDL cholesterol concentrations indicate high risk. HDL cholesterol has a protective effect that inhibits plaque formation and shows an inverse relationship with the prevalence of CHD. In fact, a low HDL cholesterol value is an independent risk factor. Determination of individual total cholesterol (TC) levels is used for screening purposes whereas for better risk assessment it is necessary to carry out additional measurements of HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.

In the last few years, several controlled clinical trials using diet, lifestyle changes, and/or different drugs (especially HMG CoA reductase inhibitors [statins]) have demonstrated that lowering total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels reduces CHD risk drastically.

Feature

Fluid-stable, ready-to-use reagent

Proline LDL-C Direct FS comes in liquid format that provide convinience for the user as the reconstitution is not needed which aids in reducing the risk of misdiagnosis.

Open system reagent

Proline LDL-C Direct FS reagent is suitable for a wide range of third-party analyzers such as Abbott, Advia, Cobas, Hitachi, Olympus, Respons, TokyoBoeki, and Beckman Coulter. Please reach our technical support at marketing@proline.co.id for further compatibility information on other types of the analyzer.

Reference Range

Low density lipoprotein (LDL) is involved in transporting cholesterol to peripheral cells. LDL cholesterol contributes to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques and is strongly associated with coronary heart disease.

Normal	≤ 130 mg/dL	≤ 3.4 mmol/L
Risk limit	130 – 160 mg/dL	3.4 – 4.1 mmol/L
High risk	> 160 mg/dL	> 4.1 mmol/L

Each laboratory should check whether the reference range can be calculated for its patient population and determine its own reference range if necessary.
