Beyond Just TESTING

The Dependable Lipids Introduction The lipid profile is a group of tests that are often ordered together to determine risk of coronary heart disease. They are tests that have been shown to be good indicators of whether someone is likely to have a heart attack or stroke caused by blockage of blood vessels or hardening of the arteries -atherosclerosis. • 100% Accuracy • Greater linearity with limited interference • Advanced lipid clearing factor • High Compatibility Agappe's AGLipids includes: STANDARD LIPID PROFILE: Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL, LDL EXTENDED LIPID PROFILE: Apo A1 & Apo B...

Cholesterol Cholesterol helps our body to build new cells, insulate nerves and produce hormones. When there is too much cholesterol in blood, it builds up in the walls of arteries, causing a process called atherosclerosis, a form of heart disease. • Time tested CHOD-PAP Methodology • Uses 1st grade stable PIPES Buffer for optimal enzymatic reaction for accurate results • PIPES Buffer inhibits Cholesterol like substances interfering in the reaction which offers better accuracy • Lipid clearing factor(LCF), limited interference by Triglycerides • High enzyme concentration offers linearity...

The Dependable Lipids AGHDL High density lipoprotein (HDL) transports cholesterol from the tissues to the liver so cholesterol can be eliminated in the bile, therefore HDL is considered to be a Good Cholesterol, the higher the HDL level lower the risk of Coronary Artery Disease. • Selective Inhibition method (with out Mg+) - The most specific method to detect HDL directly • Uses electrostatic interaction of Polyanions & Cationic compounds ensures 100% accuracy than the methods using antibodies, detergents, PEG, Enzymes, MgCl2 etc • AGHDL can detect not only normal HDL-C, but FC rich HDL or...

AGLDL LDL also known as Bad cholesterol, has become an important tool used to assess an individual's risk for developing Coronary Heart Disease. LDL acts as a key factor in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and is responsible for 70% of Heart diseases. Studies proved that upto 50% misclassification of patient happened by using Friedewald equation. • NCEP ATP III recommends that LDL should be directly measured for correct cardiac risk classification • Friedewald equation underestimate LDL, when TGL levels are >150 mg/dL, when chylomicrons are present, if the patient is with diabetes,...

The Dependable Lipids Apo A1 It is a component of HDL particles and is often used as a biomarker for prediction of cardiovascular diseases. This test is important especially a person has low level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C). The genetic variants of the Apolipoproteins can have a marked effect on cardiovascular risk and are linked with familial lipoprotein disorders such as hypertriglyceridaemia. • Turbidimetric Immuno assay method • Ready to use reagents • Wide measuring range • No Prozone effect up to 5500 mg/dL • Calibrator provided for Multipoint calibration • Excellent...

CRP Ultra An Extremely ultra sensitive CRP which can detect any trace of Cardiac risk factors the others fails to find' C-reactive protein is an acute phase protein produced by liver. It measures low levels of C-reactive protein to identify low but persistent levels of inflammation. Several large scale prospective studies demonstrate that CRP Ultra is a strong independent predictor of future myocardial infarction and stroke among apparently healthy men and women. The American Heart Association (AHA) and Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend the use of this high sensitive...
