Special Info

The Direct LDL-Cholesterol measurement will not be performed, when triglycerides are greater than 400 mg/dL. If clinically indicated, a fasting Basic Lipid Panel may be ordered. Non-HDL cholesterol is invariant to fasting status, and can be utilized to evaluate risk.

Clinical Info

Nonfasting lipid measurements may be used to estimate initial risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).

Clinical Limitation

Nonfasting lipid measurements are not preferred for all clinical scenarios. In such cases, a fasting Basic Lipid Panel (LIPB) may be preferred or necessary.
