Specimen Stability Information

Specimen Type	Temperature	Time
Plasma/Serum	Ambient	5 days
	Refrigerate	7 days
	Frozen	30 days

Test Components

This panel includes measured Total Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, and Triglycerides. It also includes calculations for LDL Cholesterol and non-HDL Cholesterol.

Test Information

The LDL is calculated using this calculation:
cLDL = (CHOL - HDL) - (TRIG/5)

Interferences

For Regional Centers performing Triglyceride: N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) may interfere with the Siemens Dimension triglyceride assay and cause falsely depressed results.

For patients receiving NAC treatment, venipuncture should occur prior to NAC administration to prevent this interference.
