LDL, HDL and triglyceride testing only tells part of the story when it comes to heart disease risk. The NMR LipoProfile® test provides these standard lipid tests along with LDL and HDL particle values, plus risk assessment for insulin resistance.
Using state of the art technology known as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, the NMR LipoProfile® is an advanced cholesterol test used to identify people at risk for lipid-related coronary heart disease (CHD).
The NMR® LipoProfile contains the following tests:
• LDL particle number (LDL-P)
• Small LDL particle number (small LDL-P)
• HDL particle number (HDL-P)
• LDL particle size
• A standard cholesterol test (LDL-C, HDL-C, triglycerides and total cholesterol)
• LP-IR
