The NMR LipoProfile® measures the amount of LDL (low-density lipoprotein) in your blood. It is used to help diagnose and manage lipoprotein disorders associated with cardiovascular disease.

Key Purpose:

• Assess detailed heart health risk
• Measure lipoprotein particles in blood
• Provide more comprehensive cardiovascular assessment
• Go beyond traditional cholesterol testing

Role in the Body Critical Functions:

• Transport fats through bloodstream
• Carry cholesterol in different particle sizes
• Support metabolic processes
• Influence cardiovascular health

How to Interpret Results Key Measurements:

• LDL Particle Number (LDL-P)
• Particle Size
• HDL Particle Number

Low Results May Indicate Potential Conditions:

• Lower cardiovascular disease risk
• Larger, less dangerous LDL particles
• Better insulin sensitivity
• Healthier metabolic profile

High Results May Suggest Potential Conditions:

• Increased heart disease risk
• Small, dense LDL particles
• Higher insulin resistance
• Greater inflammation
• Potential need for lifestyle modifications

Always require professional medical interpretation for accurate diagnosis.
