Advanced Lipoprotein Analysis

Meaning

Advanced Lipoprotein Analysis is a specialized clinical assessment that goes beyond standard lipid panels to characterize the size, number, and subfractions of circulating lipoprotein particles. This detailed measurement includes particle counts for low-density lipoprotein (LDL-P) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL-P), offering a more precise evaluation of cardiovascular risk than traditional cholesterol mass measurements alone. Understanding the concentration of smaller, denser atherogenic particles is crucial for targeted preventative strategies in hormonal health patients. This sophisticated testing provides a functional picture of lipid metabolism.
