Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hyperlipoproteinemia Type III (HLP3), also known as dysbetalipoproteinemia, is defined by cholesterol and triglyceride (TG) enriched remnant lipoprotein particles (RLP). The gold standard for diagnosis requires demonstration of high remnant lipoprotein particle cholesterol (RLP-C) by serum ultracentrifugation (UC), which is not readily available in daily practice. The apoB algorithm can identify HLP3...
