LOW DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN CHOL M/F 0 150 0 130 mg/dL
TRIGLYCERIDES M/F 0 150 0 150 mg/dL

Interpretive Data

Per NCEP Adult Treatment Panel III suggestions: <200 mg/dL is Desirable; 200-239 mg/dL is Borderline High; >=240 mg/dL is High.

The HDL-C reference range is based on NCEP Adult Treatment Panel III suggestions.

LDL-C greater than 159 mg/dL was designated as High by the NCEP Adult Treatment Panel III.  In the 2013 ACC/AHA Blood Cholesterol Guideline specific LDL–C targets are not recommended.

The NCEP Adult Treatment Panel III suggests that a fasting triglyceride level of <150 mg/dL is Normal and 150-199 is Borderline-high.

LUPUS SENSITIVE APTT

Collect

One 2.7 mL blue top tube (3.2% citrate plasma) filled to at least 80% capacity.

Pediatric Collection

Tubes must be filled to 80-100% capacity. Minimum volume: 0.5 mL of platelet poor plasma.

See above for transport requirements.

Unacceptable Conditions

Tubes not filled to at least 80% capacity; any anticoagulant other than 3.2% citrate; clotted sample; hemolyzed sample; sample diluted with I.V. fluid; frozen sample received thawed; specimen not properly identified; insufficient sample volume.

Storage/Transport Temperature

Internal: Deliver to lab immediately at ambient temperature.
Offsite: Centrifuge to obtain platelet poor plasma. Freeze 0.5 mL plasma in plastic aliquot tube. Keep frozen at -20 degrees C during transport.

Stability (from collection to initiation)

Before centrifugation: Ambient, 1 hour; Refrigerated, 4 hours.

Platelet-poor plasma aliquot: Ambient, 1 hour; Refrigerated, 4 hours; Frozen (-20 degrees C), 1 month.

Remarks

When result is higher than reference range, reflex correction studies at 0 and 2 hours will automatically be performed.

Performed by
