Q

What are the sx considerations for TAG?

A

1) Serum, heparin, or EDTA sx
2) Fasting
3) Chylomicrons and TAG increased postprandially
4) LDL and HDL decline transiently after eating
5) Postural changes decreases lipoprotein by 10% (lying down / recumbent)
6) Sitted for 5 mins prior to blood extraction

16
Q

What is the principle of rxn of glycerokinase method?

A

Triglycerides (via the action of lipase) -> free fatty acid + glycerol

Glycerol + ATP (via the action of glycerokinase) -> Glycerol - 3 - Phosphate + ADP

Glycerol - 3 - Phosphate (via the action of Glycerol - 3 - Phosphate Oxidase) -> Dihydroxyacetone-Phosphate + H2O2

2H2O2 + Para - Chlorophenol + 4-aminoantipyrine (via the action of peroxidase) -> Quinoneimine + 4H2O

17
Q

What is the process (or steps) of glycerokinase method?

A

1) Prepare the ff tubes and add the rgnt (blank, standard, and sample); 1000 uL of rgnt
2) Add the sx to the respective test tubes and incubate for 5 mins (Blank: 10 uL; Standard: 10 uL; Sample: 10 uL)
3) Read and record absorbance at 520 nm (spectrophotometer or semi-automated analyzer can be used depending on the procedure done)

18
Q

What are the causes of increased triglycerides?

A

1) Hyperlipoproteinemia
2) Alcoholism
3) Nephrotic syndrome
4) Hypothyroidism
5) Pancreatitis

19
Q

What are the causes of decreased trigly?

A

1) Malabsorption syndromes
2) Hyperthyroidism
3) Malnutrition

20
Q

What is the function of HDL?

A

Transport of chole from tissue to liver (reverse chole transport)

21
Q

What is the assay used for HDL?

A

Direct HDL cholesterol assay

22
Q

What is the principle employed by direct HDL chole assay?

A

It employs two-reagent format

23
Q

What is two-reagent format?

A

1st: stabilizes LDL, VLDL, and chylomicrons
2nd: contains PEG enzymes that reacts w/ HDL particles

24
Q

What is the process (or steps) of direct HDL chole assay?

A

1) Label test tubes (blank, standard, and patient)
2) Pipette 750 uL of direct HDL cholesterol reagent 1 and incubate for 5 mins
3) Add 10 uL of sx to respective tubes and mix well
4) Add 250 uL of direct HDL cholesterol reagent 2 and incubate for 5 mins
5) Measure absorbance at 700 nm

25
Q

What is the Friedwald equation (for VLDL-c and LDL-c)?

A

VLDL-c = Triglycerides / 5

LDL-c = Total cholesterol - (HDL-c + VLDL-c)

26
Q

What is the reference range of the given analyte for adults?

Given analyte: Total chole

A

140 - 200 mg/dL

27
Q

What is the reference range of the given analyte for adults?

Given analyte: HDL chole

A

40 - 75 mg/dL

28
Q

What is the reference range of the given analyte for adults?

Given analyte: LDL chole

A

50 - 130 mg/dL

29
Q

What is the reference range of the given analyte for adults?

Given analyte: Trigly

A

60 - 150 mg/dL
