Advanced Lipid Sub-Fractionation

Meaning

Advanced Lipid Sub-Fractionation is a sophisticated diagnostic technique that moves beyond standard cholesterol panels to measure the concentration and size of lipoprotein particles, specifically LDL and HDL. Understanding these detailed sub-fractions provides a far more accurate, individualized assessment of cardiovascular risk than traditional metrics alone. This high-resolution data is critical for precision medicine in hormonal health, as the endocrine system profoundly influences lipid metabolism and particle characteristics.
