Lipid Particle Profiling

Meaning

Lipid Particle Profiling is an advanced diagnostic assessment that extends beyond the conventional lipid panel to provide a detailed characterization of the size, number, and sub-class distribution of circulating lipoprotein particles, specifically LDL and HDL. This comprehensive analysis is clinically superior for accurately assessing cardiovascular risk, as the concentration of small, dense LDL particles is recognized as a more potent atherogenic factor than total LDL-cholesterol mass alone. It is an indispensable tool in precision medicine for evaluating cardiometabolic and hormonal health.
