Cholesterol Testing

Chem Panel (Basic) with Lipids

The Chem Panel (Basic) with lipids provides testing for Glucose (Diabetes), Kidney function, Fluids and Electrolytes, Minerals and Bone, Liver function, Lipid Profile and an Estimated Coronary Heart Disease Risk calculation.

Includes: Glucose, Serum Uric Acid, Serum BUN (Urea Nitrogen) Creatinine, Serum eGFR BUN/Creatinine Ratio Sodium, Serum Potassium, Serum Chloride, Serum Calcium, Serum Phosphorus, Serum Protein, Total, Serum Albumin, Serum Globulin, Total A/G Ratio Bilirubin, Total Alkaline Phosphatase, Serum LDH (Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase) AST (SGOT)(Aspartate Aminotransferase) ALT (SGPT) (Alanine Aminotransferase) GGT (Gamma Glutamyl Transpeptidase) Iron, Serum Cholesterol, Total Triglycerides HDL Cholesterol VLDL Cholesterol Cal LDL Cholesterol Calc T. Chol/HDL Ratio Estimated CHD Risk

Lipid Panel

The Lipid Panel will provide you with detailed information about your cholesterol and related chemistries that affect heart health. Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Includes: Cholesterol, total; high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol; low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (calculation); triglycerides; very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol (calculation).

Lipid Panel with LDL:HDL Ratio

Evaluation of hyperlipidemia as an index to coronary artery disease. The Lipid Panel With LDL:HDL Ratio is the same test as the Lipid Panel, with the addition of the LDL:HDL ratio, and will provide you with detailed information about your cholesterol and related chemistries that affect heart health.
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Includes: Cholesterol, total; high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol; low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (calculation); triglycerides; very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol (calculation) and LDL/HDL Ratio

Lipid Panel with LDL:HDL Ratio, HgbA1c, Glucose

Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Includes:
Lipid Panel With LDL:HDL Ratio: Cholesterol, Total; Triglycerides; HDL Cholesterol; VLDL Cholesterol Cal; LDL Cholesterol Calc; LDL/HDL Ratio
Hemoglobin (Hgb) A1c
Glucose Serum

Lipoprotein (a)

Measurement of lipoprotein (a) is now recommended in several patient subgroups for whom excess lipoprotein (a) may have important clinical consequences: (1) patients with premature atherosclerosis, (2) patients with a strong family history of premature coronary heart disease (CHD), (3) patients with elevated LDLC and greater than or equal to two risk factors, (4) patients who have had coronary angioplasty in whom lipoprotein (a) excess may increase the risk of restenosis, and (5) patients who have undergone coronary bypass graft surgery in whom Lp(a) excess may be associated with graft stenosis.

Includes: Lipoprotein (a) is also known by the following:
Lipoprotein Little a
Lp Little a
Lp(a)

NMR LipoProfile® with Insulin Resistance Markers

The NMR LipoProfile® test is a blood test which has been shown in numerous clinical studies to be superior to LDL-cholesterol in predicting coronary heart disease (CHD) events.

The NMR LipoProfile® test uses NMR spectroscopy to measure the actual number of atherogenic LDL particles that build up in the arteries causing heart disease. By knowing how many of these particles are circulating in the blood, a physician can get a more accurate picture of a patient's heart health and, therefore make better patient care decisions.

Without the technology available through the NMR LipoProfile® test, Physicians merely estimate the number of particles by measuring the cholesterol they contain—known as LDL cholesterol (or LDL-C). Patients with a high number of LDL particles (LDL-P) are at increased risk for heart disease, even if they have "normal" LDL cholesterol levels.

Includes: Insulin resistance markers; lipoprotein particle number (LDL and HDL); lipoprotein subfractions; standard lipid panel (total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides). Graph is not provided.

Ultimate Healthy Heart Cholesterol Profile

The Lipid Panel will provide you with detailed information about your cholesterol and related chemistries that affect heart health. The Ultimate Healthy Heart Cholesterol Profile is our regular Lipid Panel with the addition of C-Reactive Protein (CRP), High Sensitivity (Cardiac Risk Assessment).

Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Includes:
Lipid Profile: Cholesterol, total; high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol; low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (calculation); triglycerides; very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol (calculation).
C-Reactive Protein (CRP), High Sensitivity (Cardiac Risk Assessment).

Ultimate NMR® Healthy Heart Cholesterol Profile

The Ultimate NMR® Healthy Heart Cholesterol Profile provides a more comprehensive coronary heart disease (CHD) risk assessment than the Lipid Profile. The Ultimate NMR® Healthy Heart Cholesterol Profile is our regular NMR LipoProfile® with Insulin Resistance Markers with the addition of C-Reactive Protein (CRP), High Sensitivity (Cardiac Risk Assessment) test and a Lipoprotein (a).

Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Includes:
C-Reactive Protein (CRP), High Sensitivity (Cardiac Risk Assessment)
NMR LipoProfile® with Insulin Resistance Markers: Insulin resistance markers; lipoprotein particle number (LDL and HDL); lipoprotein subfractions; standard lipid panel (total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides). Graph is not provided.
Lipoprotein (a) Lp(a)
*Please note, the NMR LipoProfile® is processed through LipoScience, the C-Reactive Protein (CRP), High Sensitivity (Cardiac Risk Assessment) and Lp(a) is processed through Labcorp, results are provided on a Labcorp Report. Graph is not provided.
