LIPOPROTEIN FRACTIONATION ULTRACENTRIFUGATION Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the LIPOPROTEIN FRACTIONATION ULTRACENTRIFUGATION test to help assess an individual’s risk for cardiovascular diseases. This laboratory test is used to separate and measure different types of lipoproteins in the blood.
Test Details
The LIPOPROTEIN FRACTIONATION ULTRACENTRIFUGATION test is performed by collecting a blood sample from the patient. The sample should be 4 mL (2 mL min.) serum from 2 Red Top (No Additive) tubes. It is important not to use SST gel barrier tubes. The sample should be shipped refrigerated or frozen. A minimum of 12 hours fasting is mandatory before the test. Additionally, a duly filled Test Send Out Consent Form is mandatory.
Method
The LIPOPROTEIN FRACTIONATION ULTRACENTRIFUGATION test is conducted using ultracentrifugation, colorimetric, and enzymatic methods. Ultracentrifugation is a technique that uses high-speed centrifugation to separate particles based on their density. By spinning the blood sample at high speeds, the different lipoproteins in the sample separate into distinct layers. These layers are then analyzed to measure the concentrations of various lipoproteins, including low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), and chylomicrons. The lipoproteins are further classified into subclasses based on their size and density.
Test Type
The LIPOPROTEIN FRACTIONATION ULTRACENTRIFUGATION test is specifically designed to assess heart diseases. It is recommended for individuals who may be at risk for cardiovascular diseases.
Doctor
The LIPOPROTEIN FRACTIONATION ULTRACENTRIFUGATION test is typically ordered by a cardiologist or physician who specializes in heart health.
Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the LIPOPROTEIN FRACTIONATION ULTRACENTRIFUGATION test, a minimum of 12 hours fasting is mandatory. Additionally, a duly filled Test Send Out Consent Form is required.
Report Delivery
The sample for the LIPOPROTEIN FRACTIONATION ULTRACENTRIFUGATION test should be sent by the 7th of the month. The report will be delivered after 2-3 weeks.
Test Cost
The cost of the LIPOPROTEIN FRACTIONATION ULTRACENTRIFUGATION test is AED 2970.0.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
The LIPOPROTEIN FRACTIONATION ULTRACENTRIFUGATION test helps in diagnosing and monitoring lipid disorders. It provides valuable information about an individual’s lipid profile and helps assess their risk for cardiovascular diseases. The test can determine the levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and “good” cholesterol (HDL) in the blood, which are important indicators of heart health. It can also identify abnormal lipoprotein patterns associated with certain genetic disorders or metabolic abnormalities.
Conclusion
The LIPOPROTEIN FRACTIONATION ULTRACENTRIFUGATION test offered by DNA Labs UAE is a crucial tool in diagnosing and monitoring lipid disorders. It provides valuable information about an individual’s risk for cardiovascular diseases and helps guide appropriate treatment strategies. By measuring different types of lipoproteins in the blood, this test plays a significant role in assessing an individual’s lipid profile and overall heart health.

| Test Details | Lipoprotein fractionation ultracentrifugation test is a laboratory test used to separate and measure different types of lipoproteins in the blood. Lipoproteins are particles composed of lipids (such as cholesterol and triglycerides) and proteins, which are responsible for transporting these substances in the bloodstream. During the test, a blood sample is collected from the patient and then subjected to ultracentrifugation. Ultracentrifugation is a technique that uses high-speed centrifugation to separate particles based on their density. By spinning the blood sample at high speeds, the different lipoproteins in the sample separate into distinct layers. The layers obtained after ultracentrifugation are then analyzed to measure the concentrations of various lipoproteins, including low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), and chylomicrons. These lipoproteins are further classified into subclasses based on their size and density. The lipoprotein fractionation ultracentrifugation test provides valuable information about an individual’s lipid profile and helps in assessing their risk for cardiovascular diseases. It can help determine the levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and “good” cholesterol (HDL) in the blood, which are important indicators of heart health. Additionally, the test can provide insights into the presence of abnormal lipoprotein patterns, which may be associated with certain genetic disorders or metabolic abnormalities. Overall, lipoprotein fractionation ultracentrifugation test plays a crucial role in diagnosing and monitoring lipid disorders and guiding appropriate treatment strategies to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. |
