Lipid profile: Laboratory tests and markers
Lipid profiles are the most commonly performed tests in clinical biochemistry and are frequently requested by doctors, as they help to identify, prevent and monitor cardiovascular diseases, which are among the leading causes of death worldwide.
As with other biochemical profiles, the integrated interpretation of lipid profile markers provides the doctor and patient with an accurate view of metabolic status, supporting clinical diagnosis and preventive interventions.
The main biochemical markers of the lipid profile are: Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL, LDL and VLDL. Ebram's portfolio includes reagents for measuring Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides and HDL, which have specific functions in assessing the performance of lipid metabolism, contributing to cardiovascular risk analysis.
LDL and VLDL are markers which, in practice, can be calculated from the results of the other parameters. This approach makes it possible to estimate these lipoprotein fractions reliably.
Ebram's lipid profile reagents and their specifications are presented below:
- QUIMICOL - CHOLESTEROL
Monoreagent, liquid, ready to use
Methodology: Esterase-Peroxidase
PresentationsGeneral Line: 200ml + Pad: 1 x 1mL and Bulk Line: 1 x 500mL
Diagnostic purpose: Represents the sum of all the cholesterol fractions present in the blood. When high, it is associated with an increased risk of angina, heart attacks and strokes.
- QUIMITRI - TRIGLYCERIDES
Monoreagent, liquid, ready to use
Methodology: GPO/Peroxidase
PresentationsGeneral Line: 200ml + Pad: 1 x 1mL and Bulk Line: 1 x 500mL
Diagnostic purpose: High concentrations are related to a higher risk of cardiovascular events and may indicate metabolic disorders, especially in patients with insulin resistance or obesity.
- QUIMICOL - H - HDL CHOLESTEROL
Bireagent, liquid, ready for use
Methodology: Direct / Ultrasensitive
PresentationsGeneral Line: R1= 6 x 10mL + R2= 2 x 10mL + Cal. 1 x 1.0mL and Bulk Line: R1= 1 x 210mL + R2= 1 x 70mL + Cal. 1 x 1.0mL
Diagnostic purpose: Known for its protective action, it participates in the reverse transport of cholesterol, removing excess from the bloodstream. Adequate levels are associated with a lower predisposition to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.
- Calculated markers: LDL and VLDL
LDL and VLDL, often referred to as "bad cholesterol", are directly associated with the formation and accumulation of plaques in arterial walls. Their high concentrations indicate a greater risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events.
The assessment of lipid profile markers is fundamental for identifying alterations in fat metabolism, helping to prevent and monitor cardiovascular diseases, and for this diagnosis to be reliable, it is essential to use reliable reagents that make the laboratory routine safer.
Ebram, as a national manufacturer of reagents for in vitro diagnostics, offers in its portfolio the main reagents used in the composition of the lipid profile, supporting laboratories in carrying out reliable tests.
