Abstract
A rapid and reliable screening method for hyperlipidemia for use in small laboratories, clinics, or physicians' offices as a screen prior to more specific and costly lipid tests is described. This screening method not only predicts the total cholesterol plus triglyceride values, but also reveals the presence of chylomicrons, which may indicate a nonfasting subject. The method is based on measuring the precipitate from a commonly used polyanion precipitation method for separation of HDL cholesterol from LDL and VLDL cholesterol. The results of the screening method are comparable to the combined value of total cholesterol and triglycerides as assayed enzymatically by the SMAC method.
