Abstract:
Blood lipid testing serves as the foundation for clinical lipid management. Ensuring the accuracy of blood lipid test results, particularly the precision and stability of low low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) values, is crucial for evaluating therapeutic effects among individuals undergoing lipid management and developing subsequent effective lipid-modulatoring strategies. Clinical laboratories should not only focus on quality control measures during the pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical phases of testing but also pay attention to variations in laboratory indicators and cutoff values for high, moderate, and low-risk population stratification based on clinical guidelines. Additionally, it is essential to understand the impact of high triglyceride levels on LDL-C testing and provide relevant education to both doctors and patients. By revamping the traditional format of blood lipid test reports to align with the concepts and requirements of lipid management guidelines, laboratories can make a substantial valuable contribution to individual lipid management in the modern era of lipid detection and monitoring.
