Starts with standard lipid panel and reflexes to detailed lipoprotein particle analysis by NMR.

Lipid profile: Serum (preferred) or Plasma Lipoprotein reflex: Spun NMR LipoTube (preferred) Serum from a plain red-top tube Plasma from a lavender-top (EDTA-no gel) tube or green-top (heparin-no gel) tube

2 mL each tube

Lipid profile: Gel-barrier transport, green-top (heparin), or lavender-top (EDTA) tube. Lipoprotein reflex: One of the following: NMR LipoTube (black-and-yellow-top tube), preferred, plain red-top tube, lavender-top (EDTA-no gel) tube, or green-top (heparin-no gel) tube. Two specimens must be submitted with this profile, one for the lipid profile and another for lipoprotein reflex testing.

No special preparation is required for this test. You may eat, drink, and take your medications as normal, unless instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider.

This test does not require any special collection or pre-analytical handling. Follow routine specimen collection protocols.
