LOINC short name : Deprecated Lipid profile proto;
LOINC description : Measure of plasma lipid levels in blood samples to predict risk for the development
of heart attack or to define metabolic syndrome. If the respondent answers yes to
question 1, then the interviewer will proceed to question 2. The use of lipid-lowering
medications must be captured, as the use of medications can have profound and predictable
effects on the lipid levels and obscure the levels and phenotype of hyperlipidemia.
Lipid profiles involving triglyceride-level measurement should be collected after
an 8-12 hour fast. Generally, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol,
and triglycerides should be measured in a laboratory that is certified and referenced
to a regional reference laboratory.;
