Lipid 2 Flashcards
Disorders of lipids :
Arteriosclerosis
Obesity
Hypertension
Diabetes mellitus
Other abnormalities h hi
Good prognosis:
Early detection of deranged blood lipid profile
Indications for Lipid Profile include:
- ⁃ Screening for primary & secondary hyperlipidemias
- ⁃ Monitoring for risk of atherosclerosis 3. ⁃ Monitoring treatment of
hyperlipidemias/Dyslipidemia
Biological Variations:
Age
Sex
Season
Food intake
Medical conditions
Acute illness
Life styles
Patient should fast for _______hours before sampling.
12hours
Chylomicrons are cleared within_____hrs and their presence
after 12hrs fast is abnormal.
6-9hrs
Chylomicrons are cleared within 6-9hrs and their presence
after _____hrs fast is abnormal.
12hrs
Patient to be seated for _______min prior to sampling to prevent
hemoconcentration.
5min
Patient to be seated for 5min prior to sampling to prevent ___________
hemoconcentration
Prolonged venous occlusion leads to increase in cholesterol conc by
10-15%
those who walk for about 4 hours each week have an average cholesterol _________ and HDL-C __________ than inactive persons
5% lower and 3.4% higher
Menstrualcycle:-The ____________ and ___________ tend to be highest at midcycle, the time of maximum estrogen secretion - The cyclical variation in cholesterol is not observed with anovulatory cycles.
Plasma cholesterol and triglycerides concentration
Plasma is preferred when lipoprotein are measured by:
- ultracentrifugation
- Electrophoretic methods
can be used when it is necessary to store samples for weeks or months.
Serum
exert large osmotic effect resulting in falsely low plasma lipid and
lipoprotein concentration.
Sodium citrate
because of its high M.W can alter electrophoretic mobility of
lipoproteins.
Heparin
is preferred anticoagulant even though TC and TG conc in EDTA plasma
are 3% lower than in serum.
Edta (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid)
Anticoagulant used
Heparin
Sodium citrate
EDTA
can be satisfactorily analyzed in frozen samples.
Total cholesterol
Total triglycerides
High density of lipoprotein
can also be measured in frozen samples.
Apo lipoprotein
Cholesterol Estimation : CHEMICAL METHODS
Abell kendall method
Liebermann-burchardt reaction
Bloors method
Abell Kendall Method (Former Reference Method): - Principle: 3 step method
- Cholesterol is hydrolyzed with alcoholic KOH
- Unesterified cholesterol is extracted with petroleum jelly/Hexane
- Measured using the L-B Reaction
Liebermann-Burchardt Reaction (L-B Reaction):
Cholesterol + Sulfuric acid + Acetic anhydride —> color
Bluish green solution
Bloors Method: - Principle: 2 step
- Cholesterol is extracted using an alcohol ether mixture
- Measured using the L-B Reaction
Former Reference Method of chemical method
Abell kendall method
Routine Lab - Assay of Choice
Cholesterol oxidase method
Cholesterol Oxidase Method (Routine Lab - Assay of Choice):
Principle:
Cholesterol ester + H20 – cholesterol esterase —> Free cholesterol
H202 + 4-aminophenazone – peroxidase Quinoneimine dye (red) + H20
Trinder’s Reaction
Trinders reaction color
Red
Cholesterol Estimation: ENZYMATIC METHOD:
Cholesterol oxidase method
Trinders method
Trinders method Read at ______ wavelength
500nm
Trinders method Linear up to
600 - 700mg/dL
ADVANTAGE in comparison to the Chemical Method
Precise and accurate
Lesser interferences - bilirubin,
ascorbic acid, Hb
Smaller sample quantity
Rapid; does not require preliminary extraction step
Can be used to measure unesterified cholesterol by omitting de-
esterification step
Mild reagents; better suited for
automated analyzers
DISADVANTAGE
They are not absolutely specific for cholesterol.
Cholesterol oxidase reacts with other sterols e.g plant sterol
Ascorbic acid and Bilirubin interfere by consuming H202
Bilirubin interference can produce falsely high or low values
Significant only at conc >5mg/dL decreasing Cholesterol values by 5 -
15%
