Description:
The advanced lipid profile provides a more comprehensive assessment of dyslipidemia and cardiovascular risk than standard lipid panel measurements.

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

Includes:
Cardio IQ Cholesterol, Total;
Cardio IQ HDL Cholesterol;
Cardio IQ Triglycerides;
Cardio IQ Non-HDL and Calculated Components;
Cardio IQ Lipoprotein Fractionation, Ion Mobility;
Cardio IQ Apolipoprotein B;
Cardio IQ Lipoprotein (a)

If Triglyceride is >400 mg/dL, Cardio IQ Direct LDL will be performed.

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.
