Cardio IQ Advanced Lipid Panel (Quest Diagnostics) |
Quest Price: $192.99 |
The advanced lipid profile provides a more comprehensive assessment of dyslipidemia and cardiovascular risk than standard lipid panel measurements.
Includes: Patient Instructions: Fasting is not required prior to collection of a lipid panel. The assay manufacturer Beckman Coulter advises: "N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), when administered in therapeutic concentrations (for the treatment of acetaminophen overdose), has been determined to interfere with assays for cholesterol, uric acid" where "NAC interference may lead to falsely low results." According to Beckman Coulter, the NAC interference should be insignificant by 12 hours after completion of the initial loading dose of an IV infusion treatment regimen consisting of an initial loading dose of 150 mg/kg administered over 1 hour, a second dose of 50 mg/kg administered over 4 hrs and a third dose of 100 mg/kg administered over 16 hrs. |

What is a Cholesterol Test?
A Cholesterol test checks a patient’s blood to determine if their cholesterol and triglycerides are at an acceptable level for proper health, which gives physicians an indication on whether or not a patient is at risk for a heart attack or stroke. There are a variety of cholesterol tests available, offering a wide range of results for both doctors and patients. The most common is a lipid profile, which is often given to patients during their yearly checkup, or in some cases, every five years.
Who May Need a Cholesterol Test?
Cholesterol tests are an important early indicator of health issues which could result in a heart attack or stroke, making it imperative that patients begin having their cholesterol checked fairly regularly once they reach adulthood. Patients with known hereditary issues relating to high cholesterol, heart attacks, or strokes may want to take this test on an annual or semi-annual basis. Males over 40 years of age, as well as women over 50, should take this test annually at minimum in order to stay acquainted with their cholesterol levels, which can not only lead to coronary heart disease, but may affect their general wellness.What Should I Expect from My Cholesterol Test?
Cholesterol tests begin with a blood sample being drawn from a patient in order for it to be analyzed by a medical laboratory. Cholesterol tests require patients to refrain from eating anywhere from 12-14 hours prior to the test being performed. There are common reference ranges that exist among cholesterol tests, though some labs may have different ranges for you and your physician. Speak to your doctor regarding your results to get more information on how they concern you and your health specifically.Questions regarding online blood testing or how to order a lab test?
