Randox Direct Clearance LDL Cholesterol- clearing the way for accurate testing
The Randox LDL cholesterol assay utilises the clearance method for the accurate diagnosis of patient samples. The advanced reagent formula enables rapid clearance of all non-LDL lipoproteins from a sample, enabling the diagnosis of LDL cholesterol only. Furthermore, patient samples where diabetes, liver disease or high triglyceride levels are a concern can be accurately measured using the Randox LDL cholesterol assay.
The Friedewald calculation is often used in LDL measurement however the accuracy of this method is inadequate due to its dependency on “normal” triglyceride levels. At high levels of triglycerides a large number of samples are misclassified using the Friedewald calculation leading to significant discrepancies between calculated LDL cholesterol and the true value. The Randox LDL clearance method eliminates this problem and ensures truly accurate results are produced.
