INTRODUCTION TO RANDOX CARDIOLOGY AND LIPID TESTING International bodies, including the National Lipid Association and the European Guidelines on Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Prevention in Clinical Practice advocate measuring lipids to truly identify CVD risk. However, the traditional lipid panel of cholesterol, HDL-C, triglycerides and LDL-C only detect approximately 20% of all coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. Advanced lipid testing is recommended to optimise patient treatment, both in primary and secondary risk categories and as such provide the necessary tools to prevent and...

HDL CHOLESTEROL Clinical Significance Key Features of the Randox HDL Cholesterol Assay UF High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are one of the major classes of plasma lipoproteins. HDL-C is often referred to as ‘good cholesterol’ as it transports from the tissues to the liver for removal from the body. High levels of HDL-C can lower the risk of developing heart disease. Superior direct clearance methodology ensuring truly accurate results even with abnormal samples Liquid ready-to-use reagents for convenience and ease of use Extensive measuring range of 0.189 - 3.73mmol/L Applications available...

sdLDL CHOLESTEROL SMALL-DENSE LDL CHOLESTEROL (sdLDL-C) Fig. 6 Correlation of Ultracentrifugation and Denka Seiken Methods. 6 Key Features of the Randox sdLDL Cholesterol Assay Until recently, the primary methods of assessing a patient’s sdLDL-C levels were based on techniques such as ultracentrifugation and electrophoresis both of which are extremely laborious and time-consuming. 4 sdLDL-C can now be assessed in the routine biochemistry laboratory using the Randox Clearance assay. • Randox sdLDL-C utilises the clearance method which produces results in ten minutes. There are two main...

Criteria to overcome challenges of Lp(a) measurement Traditional challenges of Lp(a) measurement The widespread use of Lp(a) as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease risk has, until recently, been impeded by the lack of internationally accepted standardisation and the fact that many commercial Lp(a) methods suffer from apolipoprotein (a) (apo(a)) size related bias, potentially leading to patient misclassification. The size heterogeneity of apo(a) affects, to varying degrees the results of many commercially available Lp(a) kits. This may result in an underestimation of Lp(a)...

Clinical Significance The determination of Lp(a) levels is intended for use in conjunction with the clinical evaluation, patient risk assessment and other lipid tests to evaluate disorders of lipid metabolism and to assess coronary heart disease in specific populations. The size of the apo(a) protein is genetically determined and varies widely. As such, the levels of Lp(a) can vary up to 1000-fold between individuals.9 Recent years have seen major scientific advances in the understanding of Lp(a) and its causal role in premature cardiovascular disease (CVD). Elevated Lp(a) levels are...
