Lipoprotein Fractionation Ultracentrifugation Test
Introduction
The Lipoprotein Fractionation Ultracentrifugation Test is a specialized diagnostic tool used to evaluate the different types of lipoproteins in the blood. This test is essential for understanding an individual’s risk of heart disease, as it provides detailed insights into lipid profiles that standard tests may overlook. With the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, this test has become increasingly important in preventive healthcare.
